A Day in the Life of Abed Salama
by Nathan Thrall
🏆 Winner of the 2024 Pulitzer Prize for Nonfiction
“A Day in the Life of Abed Salama tells the story of a terrible school bus crash in 2012 on a highway outside Jerusalem used predominantly by Palestinians, which was badly maintained and heavily congested thanks to Israeli checkpoints.
