absolutely mesmerized by this book. the prose is incredibly precise, perfectly controlled. it can be a bit thematically heavy-handed, but the forcefulness of it works — connecting the politics of Hamlet to Israel-Palestine, historical and familial and avenging ghosts.

Hammad takes her time in unraveling the intricacies of her characters. Enter Ghost reminds us of the power of education and the arts in Palestinian's, and other oppressed people's, resistance to the brutality of empire.
