Hosted by Rana Nazzal Hamadeh

Join us for a conversation with Isabella Hammad, the award-winning author of the novels The Parisian and Enter Ghost and one of Granta’s Best of Young British Novelists, about her new book, Recognizing the Stranger: On Palestine and Narrative .

Nine days before October 7, 2023, Isabella Hammad delivered the Edward W. Said Memorial Lecture at Columbia University. The text of her seminal speech and her afterword, written in the early weeks of 2024, together make up a searing appraisal of the war on Palestine during what seems a turning point in the narrative of human history.
