Really pleased to share my first for @nymag: a review of Percival Everett’s terrific (and terrifically named) new novel ‘James,’ his 24th, and I think one of his best: vulture.com/article/perciv…

What’s being done to Gaza is the greatest moral atrocity of our lifetime. It is impossible to read the facts and watch the videos and come to any other conclusion. To be silent, to equivocate, to deny, is to tacitly endorse an act of generational evil. It will not be forgotten.

“It’s difficult to imagine Ramadan in Gaza this year,” Zaina Arafat writes. “I want to imagine that, even at a time of devastation and deprivation, a personal act of sacrifice can still lend purpose to senselessness.” nyer.cm/xefBpxR

It was a joy and an honor to write this essay for The New Yorker to accompany Kholood Eid's incredible photos of Palestinian diaspora, resistance and joy in her hometown of St.Louis, Missouri. 🍉newyorker.com/culture/photo-…

If you read one thing today, have it be this The New Yorker essay by Zaina Arafat. Featuring the brilliant photographs of Kholood Eid, who grew up between the West Bank and Missouri, it beautifully explores what it means to be Palestinian in the diaspora. newyorker.com/culture/photo-…

A new series of photographs by Kholood Eid, a New York-based photographer who grew up in Missouri and the West Bank, depicts the tension of being a Palestinian in the diaspora. nyer.cm/wCNQkXx

Truly honored to be a small part in bringing this deeply soulful, years-in-the-making work of art to readers soon. I have been such a deep admirer of Zaina Arafat and am thrilled to embark on this journey together!

Some exciting news. This collection has been years in the making, and I'm thrilled to have a home for it with Vivian Lee Little, Brown and Co. 💛💛💛

Lamya H is Them’s #NowAwards honoree in Literature. At the link, Lamya H speaks with Zaina Arafat about parenting, publishing under a pseudonym, and finding inspiration in the Quran. them.visitlink.me/QafVxS

Reader, I GASPED when I found out about this award - and then somehow had to keep it a secret for weeks until it was announced. SO thrilled to be recognized by Them! And for this gorg profile Zaina Arafat & beautiful photos by Ramie - both so talented!💙💙

Loved speaking with the brilliant Lamya H for Them about their beautiful memoir, and challenging longstanding assumptions around religion, queer parenting, and coming out narratives. them.us/story/lamya-h-…

"Most people in Windom didn’t know much about Palestinians—they weren’t yet covered in Walter Cronkite’s evening broadcasts—and the community was genuinely curious to learn about them and the conflict." —from Zaina Arafat's essay "Our Arab" thebeliever.net/our-arab/

🎯

I know people are saying not to spread conspiracy theories right now, but I would like to read them.
