- Hydrofictions offers a major contribution to literary studies by bringing fresh water to the forefront. It develops an original interpretive framework for 'reading the resource' of water in literature, contending that how we imagine water is fundamental to how we manage it. The book significantly reorients the study of Israeli and Palestinian literature by uncovering hydrological themes across an extended range of twentieth and twenty-first century texts. As the first environmental humanities monograph to address Israel/Palestine and one of few postcolonial works to do so, Hydrofictions demonstrates that turning to these previously neglected literatures can reinvigorate both fields.
