Event 38
Adania Shibli
Delusion
Venue: IE University. Refectorio
Palestinian writer Adania Shibli speaks to us about war, violence, and memory against the backdrop of a disoriented Palestine. Shibli does so primarily through her writing, but also through events like this one. Following Minor Detail the story of a young woman’s rape amid the 1949 Palestinian-Israeli conflict, which was shortlisted for the 2021 International Booker Prize and was a finalist for the 2020 National Book Award for Translated Literature— comes Delusion, a heart-wrenching story in which two young people try to live a normal life when nothing is normal for any Palestinian who has been stripped of their territory, their history, and their identity.
After the event, the author will be signing copies of her books
Event in English with simultaneous interpretation into Spanish
Co-organised with Open Society Foundations and Penguin Random House Grupo Editorial
