Louisa B. Waugh spent a considerable amount of time in Gaza, where she absorbed the culture and came to love and admire its people's resilience, dark humour and drive to make a better world for themselves. She was at W&T last night to share her insight into the Gaza strip, including sides not often seen or heard in news reports. She shared vignettes of life in the Gaza strip -- stories about Christian celebrations during Ramadan, Gazans love for the sea, and the challenges faced by this indomitable people amidst the continued conflict between the Israel-Palestinian states. It was a moving event, and there was even a touching moment between Palestinian author Rabai al-Madhoun and Louisa. Thank you to Louisa, Rabai, and Saqi Books, and all who joined us for a memorable evening.
