Review Quotes: Praise for the Spanish edition:
"A collage of visions that goes through a spectrum of the war between Palestine and Israel from first hand experience and with different voices... a drawing of how one lives under one of the most urgent political conflicts today."--Fran Zabaleta, author of Viaje al interior: 80 días en furgo por la España olvidada "The Sky Is Incomplete recounts in diary form the author's experience of itinerant life in one of the areas of greatest indefinite conflict in history... Creating a voice to talk about this conflict through personal experience was fundamental for Emmelhainz, who presents a dialogue with nods to admired writers who have debated this conflict."
