Abstract
Stepping beyond prior analyses of Sayed Kashua’s work, this article examines his most recent novel Track Changes (2017) as a turning point in his career. It reveals a shift in his relationship with Hebrew and his engagement with Palestinian memory, both personal and collective. Read from the perspective of contemporary Palestinian literature, Track Changes emerges as a powerful indictment of Jewish-Israeli indifference to the Palestinian fear of erasure and discontinuity.
