Over the past three years, American writer Ben Ehrenreich has been traveling to and living in the West Standard bank, staying with Palestinian family members in its major cities and its own smallest villages. Along the way he has written major reports for American outlets, including a exceptional New York Times Magazine cover story. Now comes the powerful new work that is definitely his ultimate goal, The Way to the Springtime. We are familiar with fearless journalists who happen to be bleak or war-torn places on the mission to listen and understand, to assemble the stories of people suffering from extremes of oppression and want: Katherine Boo, Ryszard Kapuścińskiing, Ted Conover, and Philip Gourevitch among them. Palestine is, by any measure, whatever one's politics, one particular place. Ruled by the Israeli armed forces, set upon and harassed constantly by Israeli settlers who admit unapologetically to wanting to drive them from the land, pressured to make a deal an ever more elaborate plus more suffocating group of fences, checkpoints, and obstacles which have sundered home from field, home from home, this is a population whose living conditions are unique, and indeed hard to imagine. In the great take action of bravery, empathy and understanding, Ben Ehrenreich, by placing us in the footsteps of normal Palestinians and revealing their story with surpassing literary ability and grace, helps it be impossible for us to turn away.
