The novel is considered the “Diwan of the Arabs” in the modern era due to its influential role in the literary historiography of events and developments. Palestinian writers, especially those detained in Israeli prisons, have leaned on the art of the novel to convey their experiences with the Israeli enemy. They narrate their experiences with high sensitivity and precision. In light of this, the researcher examined the narrative experience of a young writer imprisoned in Israeli gaols since 2004, focusing on the psychological and ideological conflict experienced by the protagonist when embodying the character of an Ashkenazi Jew. This was explored through dual dialogues between the protagonist (Nur) and the adopted persona (Or). The study includes an introduction, a preface, two chapters, and a conclusion. The introduction highlights the importance, reasons, issues, and methodology of the research, as well as the author’s biography and the artistic content of the novel, followed by an overview of Palestinian prison literature. The first and second chapters discuss the mechanisms of psychological and ideological conflict in the novel through an analysis of narrative excerpts related to these aspects. In the conclusion, we presented several findings, including the Palestinian writer’s ability to harness the art of the novel to highlight the role of prison literature in conveying a vivid and truthful portrayal of the Israeli occupier.
