Minor Detail (Arabic: تفصيل ثانوي, romanized: Tafṣīl Thānawī) is a 2017 novel by the Palestinian author Adania Shibli. It was translated into English by Elisabeth Jaquette in 2020.
It has two parts, first recalling a true story of a 1949 gang rape and murder of a young Arab Bedouin-Palestinian girl by Israeli soldiers, and in the second part, telling of a fictional modern day account of life of a Palestinian woman who tries to investigate this incident.
The novel was nominated for a National Book Award for Translated Literature in 2020, longlisted for the International Booker Prize in 2021 and won the LiBeraturpreis in 2023.
