Title: Recognizing the Stranger: On Palestine and Narrative Author: Isabella Hammad Narrator: Isabella Hammad Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 28 minutes Release date: September 24, 2024 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Nine days before October 7, 2023, award-winning author Isabella Hammad delivered the Edward W. Said Memorial Lecture at Columbia University. 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, shedding light on 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.“An urgent work for a devastating time … Isabella Hammad is as fine a critic as she is a novelist. It is hardly a surprise that she is one of our most astute writers when it comes to Palestine.”—Viet Thanh NguyenIncludes bonus audio read by the author
