Writer, illustrator, and researcher Ahmad Nabil is bringing his testimonial of Palestinian folklore to the following cities! This tour is launching the English translation of Ahmad’s book done by Fatema Alhashemi.
Presented by The Fiction Council, these intimate readings explore a world where jinns and ghouls, guardians and tricksters, wizards and possessors move through everyday life in the Old City of Jerusalem.
Join Ahmad for readings, vivid storytelling, and conversations about craft, memory, and the whisper networks that carry these tales.

We’re thrilled to announce the English translation of HIDDEN COMPANIONS by @djinnabad is forthcoming May 21! PRE-ORDERS OPEN!
The Old City of Jerusalem comes alive in Ahmad Nabil’s Hidden Companions, a testimonial and visual archive of Palestinian folklore, now translated into English by @fattooshe . With rich, vivid descriptions and in stunning illustrations, Ahmad Nabil weaves a literary account of paranormal stories: held, shared in whisper networks, relayed over conversations, and passed down as inheritance. In doing so, he helps preserve an essential figment of Palestinian intangible heritage.

The project is co-published by The Fiction Council and facilitated by @j7md .
