The Center for Fiction: Hannah Lillith Assadi on Paradiso 17
Mar 17, 2026
Description
The Center for Fiction hosts an evening with Hannah Lillith Assadi, in conversation with internationally bestselling author Colum McCann, discussing Assadi’s sweeping new novel, Paradiso 17. A new work on the legacy of the 1948 Nakba, the novel follows protagonist Sufien on a restless search for belonging from Palestine to Kuwait, Italy, New York and the deserts of Arizona. Loosely inspired by Assadi’s father, the novel offers a lyrical, deeply personal portrait of war, migration and resilience. A Q&A and book signing will follow.
