Next Wednesday is the launch for my book on late ancient Gazan literature! Looking forward to getting to speak virtually at Dar al-Kalima University in Bethlehem with Mitri Raheb, Asma El Khoudary, Abaher El-Sakka, and Sari Nusseibeh — along with Palestinian students and faculty

Nine years ago, I began reading books from every country of the world (131 down, 66 to go), & one thing I've noticed is that styles - naturally - differ widely from place to place. When one's stylistic expectations are shaped by one cultural geography, other styles can be difficult to appreciate.
