We are writers and artists who have been to Palestine to participate in the Palestine Festival of Literature. We now call for the international community to commit to ending the catastrophe unfolding in Gaza and to finally pursuing a comprehensive and just political solution in Palestine. We have exercised our privilege as international visitors to move around historic Palestine in ways that most Palestinians are unable to.

“I still have faith in literature,” Bahian writer and geographer Itamar Vieira Junior tells me in a gentle tone, as if the affirmation could help nurture his belief. He is describing the challenges of crafting words in a milieu of well-fed authors who by default foment a “nihilist perspective of life.” His first novel, Crooked Plow, has netted an unparalleled number of readers, making him a conspicuous phenomenon in contemporary Brazilian literature.

My earliest reading memory Before I could read, my mother used to make up stories inspired by her childhood in India. There were monsoons and paper boats; there were pink newspapers. Listening to her, watching her hands tell the stories, was my first form of reading. My favourite book growing up I read Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre at around 10 or 11 years old, then read it again and again in my teens. My bedroom was tiny, but it had a window seat.
