Join acclaimed Jordanian author and activist Fadi Zaghmout and Palestinian Canadian writer and filmmaker Ziyad Saadi for a powerful conversation on masculinity, identity and the quiet revolutions of everyday life at the Toronto International Festival of Authors. Darkly funny, and full of surprises, Saadi’s Three Parties pays twisted homage to Virginia Woolf’s literary classic, Mrs. Dalloway – gleefully upending the western coming-out narrative, and exploring the traumas and pressures faced by Palestinian immigrants. In his groundbreaking allegorical novel, The Man of Middling Height, Zaghmout imagines a society whose deepest prejudices are about height – rather than race, gender, or sexuality – delivering a powerful meditation on discrimination and desire.
