Sabrin Hasbun on meeting in the crossing
Description
After a three-month hiatus, I'm so pleased to be bringing back this podcast with more amazing conversations.
This week, I’m joined by Sabrin Hasbun, writer, researcher, and author of the beautiful and moving book Crossing. Born in Italy to a Palestinian father and Italian mother, Sabrin grew up navigating languages, cultures, and identities – experiences that deeply inform her work. Crossing is part memoir, part exploration of belonging, memory, and family history. It moves between past and present, Italy and Palestine, weaving together personal stories with wider questions of identity, exile, and the meaning of home.
In our conversation, we talk about her journey into writing, the ways in which her dual heritage has shaped her perspective, and how literature can hold space for histories that risk being silenced.
I'm so honoured to share this conversation with you.
