In November Bashir Abu-Manneh spoke at The Mosaic Rooms about his new book about the Palestinian Novel. In the book he considers Palestinian literature produced after the Nakba, and asks what the Palestinian novel reveals about the Palestinian experience.
Through discussing the work of Jabra Ibrahim Jabra, Ghassan Kanafani, Emile Habibi and Sahar Khalifeh, Abu-Manneh looks at the changing ways in which Palestinian writers have responded to and written about the struggle for freedom and justice.
The event was fully booked and included a lively question and answer session afterwards.
