Peace Talks

Recommended by

  • Michael Tricca: Peace Talks

    Wry, clever, and bitingly human, Peace Talks examines faith, violence, and culture with a grace that feels consistently effortless. When an American student finds himself stranded in a hookah bar a long way from home, his collision with a sharp-witted Israeli man leads him to come to terms with a world which isn't as black and white as he'd thought. Dunn and Salant's intelligent dialogue crackles as these young men dive further and further into what they once thought they believed.
