AWW23: The Survivor's Humour - Sayed Kashua

Chair: Chris Taylor


Acclaimed Palestinian citizen of Israel, screenwriter and
novelist Sayed Kashua decided on ’voluntary exile’ in 2014. He
wrote two of Israel’s most popular sitcoms, the
satirical Arab Labor and The Writer, as well as a
sardonic weekly column in Haaretz devoted to telling
the story of Palestinians living in Israel – ironic and poignant,
it is at times a dark story and at other times an absurd one.
After almost 10 years living in America, Kashua talks to Chris
Taylor about satire, writing and the Middle East.
