In Gaza

"Eyeless in Gaza" is a phrase in a dramatic poem by John Milton and the title of a novel by Aldous Huxley. Footnotes In Gaza is a graphic documentary by Joe Sacco.

Since Milton's dramatic poem, Samson Agonistes, applies the form of a Greek tragedy to content taken from the Biblical book of Judges, these three works cover an extraordinary range of literary and narrative forms.

A welcome fourth work in this sequence would be one to be entitled Peace In Gaza.
