Literary Hub: The Tallest Man in Ramallah
“The tallest man in Ramallah offered to give us a tour of his cage. We would not even have to leave our table at Rukab’s Ice Cream, on Rukab Street; all he needed to do was reach into his pocket…” Pulitzer Prize-winning author Michael Chabon roams the West Bank with Sam Bahour. This essay was first published on Literary Hub before appearing in the writers’ compendium, “Kingdom of Olives and Ash” (2017).
