Randa Abdel-Fattah is a lawyer, author, and academic who wrote her first novel at 12, and since then has published 11 books, including her latest Discipline.

Randa has also been at the centre of the recent Bendigo Writers Festival controversy. After a coalition of pro-Israel academics pushed for restrictions, with a memo going out to speakers essentially warning them not to criticise Israel. Randa withdrew and in solidarity, other authors and even the festival’s bookseller followed.

In this chat with Antoinette Lattouf, Randa explains how it felt having her name written on the side of a bomb, before it was presumably fired off into Gaza, and the struggles of parenting during a genocide.
