Bidisha and Selma Dabbagh

Watershed, 19 May 2012, 14.00-15.00
Selma Dabbagh is a British Palestinian writer whose novel, Out of It, is a gripping tale of dispossession and belonging, treachery and loyalty, endurance and bravery that re-defines Palestine and its people. She discusses Palestine with critic and broadcaster Bidisha, who toured the West Bank as a reporter in Spring 2011 and whose new book, Beyond the Wall: Writing a Path Through Palestine, is a sharp, unflinching portrait of life in the West Bank in the twenty-first century, seen through the eyes of its activists, ordinary citizens, children, population of international aid workers and foreign visitors. Price: £7.00 / £6.00. Contact Watershed, Bristol on: 0117 927 5100, book online, or visit in person. www.ideasfestival.co.uk
