Arab and Arab Diaspora Literature We Recommend
- Liste du mois
- Avril 2024 (see all)
- Description
- In honor of Arab American Heritage Month, our List of the Month this April is devoted to Arab and Arab Diaspora Literature that we have read and recommend. For the purpose of this list, "literature" is defined to include fiction, poetry and plays. It does not include history, sociology, or other non-fiction works. Books should be written by Arab / Arab diaspora authors, which we define as being ethnically Arab, and either coming from Arabic-speaking nations and peoples, or descended from those nations and peoples. Please do not include Turkish, Persian or Afghani authors. Each participant may vote on ten titles. Please only downvote titles if they do not fit the theme, and are not Arab or Arab Diaspora literature.

- WordMaven: This book had me cracking up whenever the main protag showed up. He's way too smart for his own good and always has something snarky to say. There's a couple of intersecting story lines going on here between a young man from Pakistan and a younger woman from Iraq. Let's just say his journey has been a lot smoother than hers. Authentic storytelling.
