A conversation on friendship, exile and his latest novel, My Friends, on the Libyan resistance.
Hisham Matar, acclaimed author of The Return, presents My Friends, a powerful new novel following three Libyan friends—Khaled, Mustafa, and Hosam—whose lives are forever changed after protesting against Gaddafi’s regime.
The 1984 demonstration at the Libyan embassy in London shapes their futures, binding them to each other and their homeland. Decades later, amid Libya’s Arab Spring uprising, the trio faces a choice: embrace the lives they’ve built in exile or confront the past they left behind.
Known for his explorations of memory, identity, and resilience, join Matar at The Conduit in conversation with Paul van Zyl, as they bring to life this powerful story on the human impact of political upheaval.
