Sobre IBD

Harold Jaffe was among the most admired and versatile writers in the US for several decades, having written fiction, non-fiction, 'docufiction,' drama, and now, in The Infected Desert, what he called documentary poems. His subject is the Israeli war on the Palestinians which Jaffe addresses both through brief, tensely discerning free verse poems and actual documents which he reconstitutes so that the subtexts are revealed. Despite the cruel and maddening suppression of truth-telling about the war that is pervasive in the US, Jaffe had the courage to break through in order to do what documentary poems must do: 'Tell truth to power.'

  • Kafka Kafka
    Harold Jaffe
    Harold Jaffe is a master of the disembodied voice. These fictions-transgressive, political, dryly comic-are grounded in an ancient tradition, that of the speech of the storyteller. Interlocutors talk as if out of dark caves, and the result is a marvel of conversation that takes the reader to places somehow beyond the 'real world,' only to comment, often searingly, upon its absu...

  • Terror-Dot-Gov
    Harold Jaffe
    As in Harold Jaffe’s two previous 'docufiction' collections, False Positive and 15 Serial Killers, the author of Terror-Dot-Gov selects then 'treats' his texts such that the reader is incapable of distinguishing between fact and fiction. That ambiguity permits Jaffe to cunningly tease out the contradictions and subtexts of official 'news' or 'information' and torque it into wha...
