Nicholas Glastonbury: 'The Case of Palestine' 

"You think of the authors of Palestine exercising, in writing, the right of return. A return to land, but also to author and authority."
A powerful new piece of writing from Nicholas Glastonbury: The Case of Palestine.
Performed 7/5 in New York City at the event Freedom to Write for Palestine - an event organised as an alternative to PEN America, for authors who have withdrawn from PEN America’s World Voices Festival and the PEN America Literary Awards.
In this video, former American PEN translation juror, Nicholas Glastonbury powerfully considers the declensional sleight of hand in the imperial style guide’s use of “Israel/Palestine" - and what happens when we read Palestine written by Palestinians.
