About this event

“The Human Scale” Lawrence Wright (2025) The Human Scale is a murder mystery set in the West Bank to explore the complexities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, culminating in the events of October 7, 2023. The plot follows a Palestinian-American FBI agent, Tony Malik, who teams up with a hardline Israeli cop to investigate the murder of an Israeli police chief, navigating political intrigue, personal loyalties, and the deep-seated hatred and suffering on both sides. The title refers to the disproportionate value placed on different lives in the conflict, a theme Wright explores through his characters and their experiences.
