pick#SummerSouls Day 15: Kanafani wrote in a matter-of-fact yet also highly intimate manner – like stories that are being whispered around a #Camp #campfire. Most are horror stories that one would not imagine could happen to another human being – yet these stories are snapshots of actual lived experiences of people, who are still pretty much going through what Kanafani had surfaced here. My review 4 yrs ago: https://wp.me/pDlzr-mKo
1. Single POV
2. Yes, the one tagged above... in Arabic.
3. Mood reader.... though I try to be a "list" reader.

pickHeartbreaking but loved these short stories.
#ThankfulThoughts Day 4: Why cake when you can kunafa? Makes so much more sense to me: #CommonSenseDay. See here nutella kunafa with pistachio drizzles and cheese with kheshna kunafa with assorted nuts. I have said it before but will say it again - Middle Eastern desserts are the absolute best.
#ThankfulThoughts Day 3: The #spouse and I in our usual weekend trip to the mountain, and me with a book in hand.
pickThis is my first book of the year. And it was a great choice. I don't know why it took me so long to read it but I am happy I finally did it. Is a great way how he brings the concept of Frankenstein to the modern times. Even more to a war....
