Raja Shehadeh: Chronicling Palestine

Raja Shehadeh, described as “Palestine’s greatest prose writer” (The Guardian) returns to the Festival for the first time since his acclaimed Palestinian Walks.

With recent books ranging from memoir (We Could Have Been Friends, My Father and I) to contemporary politics (What Does Israel Fear from Palestine?) to meditations on history and memory in Forgotten: Searching for Palestine’s Hidden Places and Lost Memorials, the unique depth of his work will create a rich conversation.

Raja appears live via video in conversation with Abbas El-Zein.
