Recognizing the Stranger: On Palestine and Narrative by Isabella Hammad

As I write this, a ceasefire has still not been called. I wonder what reality you now live in. From the point in time at which you read this, what do you say of the moment I am in? How large is the gulf between us?

It’s hard to read stories and collections like this, whether they were written 2 years ago or 50 years ago, knowing that nothing has changed.
