The power of literature in times of war: Fatima Bhutto & Ahmed Masoud | Reframe
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 фев 2025
- Gaza-born author and playwright Ahmed Masoud is best known for his debut novel, Vanished, which garnered critical acclaim for its riveting portrayal of life under Israeli occupation. He has written a detective story set in Gaza called Come What May and a black comedy, The Shroud Maker, told through the eyes of an 80-year-old seamstress, whose business making burial cloths in Gaza is always booming.
During Israel’s siege of Gaza, Ahmed Masoud’s family and siblings were trapped in Jabalia refugee camp. On January 22, 2023, Ahmed’s brother was killed by Israeli forces.
In the fourth episode of Reframe, Fatima Bhutto interviews Masoud on the power of literature in keeping alive one’s memories of home and how writing poetry has helped him cope with his brother’s death as well as the ongoing destruction of Gaza.

people really write for two reasons , desperation and revenge. pen is powerful than sword.keep writing and stay strong.may allah always be with you.
First, my deepest heart felt condolences to Ahmed Masoud on the loss of his brother. Admiration and respect for the brave Palestinians bonded by hope and belief. Long live Palestine.
I received my order for Refaat Alareer’s book yesterday, If I must die. It’s haunting. Literature does make a difference.
Thank you for sharing the testimony of writers and artists. “Hope is a huge power.”
This is not the Ahmed Massoud we met at Electronic Intifada in the past year before his brother was killed in such terrible conditions, before Gaza was razed to the ground. So much suffering written on his face now. Great young writer. Condolences.
What a beautiful poem 💔
Fatima you are a true to your father and like him you are fighting and standing with the oppresed of the oppresed palestinian people l bear witness to Allah s.t that you are a true believer who stood by the opressed. Shukrya and adaab.
The impressive serenity of this Palestinian writer amid the terrible events that are occurring in the invasion of Gaza. An attitude that we must all value and appreciate with our solidarity.
thank you
The poem describes just a scenery we can see easily. It’s freedom and loving relationships within a family. I am sorry to the people of Palestine.
The flat tone with which Mr. Massoud described his brother’s tragic death gave away how much pain he had to swallow to do it. Prayers for his brother, his family, and for Gaza’s future.
MashaAllah. Good to see both of you. ❤

I don't know how to go back and read "Mornings In Jenin" again. Jenin is currently being destroyed.
Palestinian people are the bravest and smart people with a beautiful culture and mostly sense of humor.
