Over ten years PalFest brought to Palestine some of the finest English-language novelists, essayists, dramatists and poets. We also brought publishers, agents and cultural producers. Their brief was to conduct literary events, workshops and seminars, to network, to scout for new talent; for one week they would meet and interact with Palestinians on their home ground. This book – marking PalFest’s tenth anniversary – contains some of the writings that were born out of this undertaking.
