ALT1: ... that the novel Minor Detail caused a controversy at 2023 Frankfurt Book Fair due to its theme of difficult Isreali-Palestinian relations intersecting with real-world events? Source: same source as above
Overall: @Piotrus: The article is well written and the plot of this novel is heartbreaking. Nice balanced writing in the controversy section. I prefer ALT0 as it is the best representation of the novel's content. ALT1 is also accurate and sourced.
