Saleem Haddad

When a banker invites a sex worker to his London apartment, he finds himself coming face to face with both his own past, and one of the world's largest humanitarian crises.

From his home in Lisbon, Lebanese-Palestinian writer Saleem Haddad reflects on memory, his family and the strangeness of the sea. He chases his grandmother’s fast-fading recollections of Palestine, where she lived many decades ago, and thinks about writing the homeland from a distance.
