Description

"Isabella Hammad delivered the Edward W. Said Memorial Lecture at Columbia University nine days before October 7, 2023. The text of Hammad's 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. Profound and moving, Hammad writes from within the moment, giving voice to the Palestinian struggle for freedom. Recognizing the Stranger is a brilliant melding of literary and cultural analysis by one of Granta's Best of Young British Novelists and a foremost writer of fiction in the world today"--

Isabella Hammad has a compelling and thought-provoking writing style. She addresses a problem that has existed for years and is still topical and is constantly being driven forward by external forces. The story opens up a new perspective and challenges us to question our usual points of view. And I really like the way she ended the book with the quote “One day this war will stop, and those of us who remain will return and rebuild, and live again in these houses” by Wael Dahdouh.
