Lavie Tidhar
The author of the critically acclaimed, Campbell Award-winning Central Station returns with a subversive new novel evoking The Yiddish Policemen's Union and The City and the City.
When pulp-fiction writer Lior Tirosh returns to his homeland in East Africa, much has changed. Palestina - a Jewish state established in the early 20th century - is constructing a massive border wall to keep out African refugees. Unrest in the capital, Ararat, is at fever pitch.
While searching for his missing niece, Tirosh begins to act as though he is a detective from one of his own novels. He is pursued by ruthless members of the state's security apparatus while unearthing deadly conspiracies and impossible realities. For if it is possible for more than one Palestina to exist, the barriers between the worlds are beginning to break.

Tidhar's seemingly seamless transitions are reminiscent of Mieville's City and the City as this fictional Israeli homeland, physically distinct from present day creates a sense of disconnectedness. The constantly shifting multiple perspectives contributes to the off balance feel. At the same time, the writer seems to drift into fugue states that makes it hard to discern the reality of the situation versus some ongoing mental breakdown or simply ennui.
The narration is adequate with reasonable character distinction and good pacing.
Which reality is real?

oh, and by the way there is dimensional/time travel! but it all revolves around Palestinians, who are evidently the wise master race of the "good" universe (the one where there is world peace because some loosely defined act of god evidently wiped out the jews? oh YAY!)
and this author thinks he's so smart, he puts in a little tidbit where a shrieking, vapid art critic insults the main character (who is clearly the author writing himself into the story) by calling him a "self-hating Jew". (see! the author said it, so clearly he wins that argument, right?)
At the end of the day, regardless of what you think about Israel/Palestine, this book fails because it is simply because it is a sci-fi book that lacks creativity. It is such a blunt instrument of 1-sided political allegory, with 1-dimensional characters illustrating the authors' political stance. If it came down on the other side, it would be just as sloppy, and just as insulting to the reader's intelligence. It's like Ayn Rand was a leftist sci-fi author.
