EBB welcomes Palestinian novelist Karim Kattan to discuss his novel, *The Palace on the Higher Hill* (Foundry Editions), translated from the French by Jeffrey Zuckerman, in conversation with Alice Guthrie.

This event was made possible with the support of the Institut Français in London.

On *The Palace on the Higher Hill*:

Faysal receives a mysterious letter about the death of aunt he can’t remember. Leaving his lover and his life in Europe behind, he returns to the village of his birth in Palestine and to his family’s extraordinary, deserted house, the palace on the higher hill. With a backdrop of violence and the permanent threat from settlers, Faysal wanders the once-lavish rooms as characters from the past return to shed light on his family story and on the story of his people.
