Sonia Nasir er en middels vellykket skuespiller i London. Etter et opprivende brudd reiser hun for å besøke søsteren i Haifa i Israel, der farens familie kom fra, og der hun knapt har vært siden hun var tenåring. Snart blir hun dratt med i et lokalt teaterprosjekt, der en trupp skal sette opp Shakespeares Hamlet på Vestbredden. Det dukker opp gjenferd også utenfor teaterscenen, etter hvert som fortiden innhenter Sonia.
Gjenferdet inn (til norsk ved Bjørn Alex Herrman) er en kompleks og velkomponert fortelling, en utforskning av identitet og tilhørighet, av kunstens rolle, av samhold og av den smertefulle historien til en familie og et folk.
Isabella Hammad er en britisk-palestinsk forfatter. Debutromanen Pariseren vant en rekke priser, deriblant Betty Trask Award og Palestine Book Award, og i 2023 ble hun innlemmet på den prestisjetunge Granta-lista Best Young British Novelists. Gjenferdet inn er hennes andre roman.
Priya Bains er poet, aktivist og redaktør for tidsskriftet Vinduet. Nå møter hun Hammad til samtale om gjenferd og søstre, Hamlet og okkupasjon.
Samtalen vil være på engelsk.

Sonia Nasir is a somewhat successful actor in London. After a distressing end to a love affair, she travels to see her sister in Haifa, Israel, where their father’s family is from, and where she’s hardly been since she was a teenager. Soon, she is pulled into a local theatre production of Shakespeare’s Hamlet on the West Bank. And as the past catches up with Sonia, ghosts appear off stage as well.
Enter Ghost is a complex and skillfully composed novel, an exploration of identity and belonging, the role of art, community, and the painful story of a family and a people.
Isabella Hammad is a British-Palestinian author. Her debut novel The Parisian won a number of awards, including the Betty Trask Award and the Palestine Book Award, and I 2023, she was included on Granta’s prestigious list of Best young British Novelists. Enter Ghost is her second novel.
Priya Bains is a poet, an activist and editor of the literary magazine Vinduet. She will join Hammad for a conversation about ghosts and sisters, Hamlet and the occupation.
The conversation will be in English.
