Join us for our third community read and book discussion on the novel that won Katara Prize for Arabic Novel in 2016, with the author Ibrahim Nasrallah The novel, written by one of the bestselling authors of the Arab World, was inspired by real-life events when Ibrahim Nasrallah succeeded in summiting Mount Kilimanjaro in January 2014 with a group of volunteers and two Palestinian adolescents who had lost their legs. Echoing Hemingway's Under Kilimanjaro, Nasrallah's work juxtaposes the horrific experiences of its main Palestinian characters, who have lost limbs in an Israeli bombing, with the somber stories of its characters from other nationalities.
