Recognising the Stranger: On Palestine and Narrative by Isabella Hammad

5.0

This was erudite, thoughtful and timely. 

The conversation of the oppression of Palestine will be a marker of this time and Hammad’s expression of coming to “a moment of recognition” cannot have been a more accurate representation of it. 

What in fiction is enjoyable and beautiful is often terrifying in real life

I’m going to reread this (with highlighter & pen) because there’s things I’m not retaining nor sitting with in this medium (audio) that I must revisit!!
