In Jerusalem: Chronicles from the Holy City, Delisle explores the complexities of a urban that represents quite a bit to such a lot of. He eloquently examines the effect of the clash at the lives of individuals on either side of the wall whereas drolly recounting the quotidian: checkpoints, site visitors jams, and holidays.
