An outstanding and moving essay on the Palestinian struggle and the power of narrative from the Women’s Prize for Fiction-shortlisted author of Enter Ghost’Combines intellectual brilliance with moral clarity and profound resoluteness of purpose’ SALLY ROONEYAward-winning author of The Parisian and Enter Ghost Isabella Hammad delivered the Edward W. Said Lecture at Columbia University nine days before 7 October 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 feels like a turning point in the narrative of human history.
Moving and erudite, Hammad writes from within the moment, shedding light on the Palestinian struggle for freedom. Recognising 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.
