This is a lovely impressionistic piece rich with imagery and feeling. More than a story or narrative, it's a record of loss and it succeeds by working almost entirely on an emotional level. It's stirring and stays with you; it's maddening and confounding. Seen from here, the Middle East conflict looks impenetrable and the headlines simply repetitive and tiresome. Seen from the Imaginary Village, it seems much closer to home.
