"In this luminous account of Israel's 2014 invasion of Gaza, Atef Abu Saif creates a literary equivalent to Goya's Disasters of War. The Drone Eats with Me deserves to become a modern classic of war literature. But for all the surrealist absurdity of the horrors Abu Saif chronicles, the book pulses throughout with the sublime, mundane and ferocious love for life." --Molly Crabapple, author of Drawing Blood, "In this luminous account of Israel's 2014 invasion of Gaza, Atef Abu Saif creates a literary equivalent to Goya's Disasters of War. The Drone Eats with Me deserves to become a modern classic of war literature. But for all the surrealist absurdity of the horrors Abu Saif chronicles, the book pulses throughout with the sublime, mundane and ferocious love for life." --Molly Crabapple, author of Drawing Blood " Without a TV, we stand by the window and watch Gaza, together. Fields of darkness spread out in all directions. The ghost of a city. The only lights are those of the drones and F16s hovering above it all. The Drone Eats with Me is a devastating contemporary war journal. This is what war is like in the 21st century--the voice of a civilian in the onslaught of drone warfare, a voice we have never heard before." --Michael Ondaatje, author of Divisadero, "'Without a TV, we stand by the window and watch Gaza, together.

Saif gives names and faces to the anonymous people presented in the daily news. His personal account, presented clearly and passionately, is testimony that must be heard."--Mary Fran Buckley, Eight Cousins (Falmouth, MA) "Written with the unapologetic immediacy of a journalist and father, The Drone Eats With Me is an essential guide to life in modern Gaza. Atef Abu Saif's chronicle of living in the age of drone warfare will stir the reader's heart. "--Erin Goss, Left Bank Books (St. Louis, MO) "I hope this book is read with an open heart and mind by Americans of all religions and from all regions, and across the world, too. It's not an easy read, but I feel better and more informed having read it. . . . Saif's memoir about a family attempting normalcy during modern-day wartime takes you into a world we read plenty of headlines about but may not understand when it comes to day-to-day life. "--Sue Roegge, Chapter2Books (Hudson, WI) "It's difficult to read, the way many war memoirs are, but it feels important to witness what this man experienced. Thoughtful and beautifully written, this book will leave you with a lot to think about. "--Ingrid Goatson, Boulder Book Store (Boulder, CO)

Synopsis
An ordinary Gazan's chronicle of the struggle to survive during Israel's 2014 invasion of Gaza The Drone Eats with Me is an unforgettable rendering of everyday civilian life shattered by the realities of twenty-first-century warfare.

Atef Abu Saif, a young father and novelist, puts an indelibly human face on these statistics, providing a rare window into the texture of a community and the realities of a conflict that is too often obscured by politics., An ordinary Gazan's "devastating contemporary war journal" that chronicles his fear, sadness, and boredom during Israel's 2014 invasion of Gaza (Michael Ondaatje, author of The English Patient ) The Drone Eats with Me is an unforgettable rendering of everyday civilian life shattered by the realities of twenty-first-century warfare.
