“Both witty and thoughtful, Zeineddine’s tragicomic stories about Arab American characters in Dearborn, Mich., explore themes of immigration, prejudice, sexuality, belonging and more.”
— THE WASHINGTON POST, A Best Book of September
“Funny and sincere. . . . connected by history, by ambition, by a myth of a nation that never manifests but is reborn again and again in the immigrant gaze.”
— New York Times Book Review
“Builds surprising, tender alliances and chooses idiosyncratic paths that exceed easy stereotypes.”
— NPR
“What Zeineddine can do with a simple storyline and a few pages is a thing of wonder. A fantastic collection heralding the voice of a major new writer.”
