"This is a living and essential book." —sam sax, author of Bury It and MadnessA meditation on historical rupture and political imagination, A Flag of No Nation traces the stories of Turkish Jews in the twentieth century, navigating the tides of antisemitism, Turkish nationalism, Zionism, and the aftermath of the Ottoman Empire. Through forms of storytelling that range from allegory to oral history, Tom Haviv investigates the history of Israel|Palestine and the mythologies of nationalism, searching the archives for rituals and frames that might one day shape new realities of peace and justice. A warning against imperfect dreams, A Flag of No Nation reminds us how the act of remembrance can help us re-envision the future.A Flag of No Nation was previously published by Jewish Currents Press.

A luminous story about loss, creativity, and growing up.In this lyrical fable, one morning the sun mysteriously fails to rise, leaving a small town in darkness—and the children without their parents. Undeterred, they wander through the  surreal Nighttime City, alive with neon-lit zoos, mysterious bakeries, and strange creatures, searching for the adults who have vanished.As their anxiety deepens, a brave girl proposes an audacious idea: if they cannot find the sun, perhaps they must raise it into the sky themselves. But how? To find out, the children set to work —and begin to craft a new dawn.A story of wonder and resilience, How the Sun Was Won explores grief, mystery, and the power of collective imagination.
