Reviews
'A wickedly ironic but humane collection' Kirkus Reviews; 'Israel's funniest Palestinian writer' New Yorker; 'Native is a book that will make you lose most hope in the power of national processes but, at the same time, will leave you in awe about the incredible force of humanity, humor, and some damn good writing.' Etgar Keret; 'At once hilarious and tragic, rueful and sweet, absurd and insightful, it should be required reading for anyone who thinks they know anything at all about Palestine and Israel.' Ayelet Waldman; 'Short, sharp and very funny ...This is a superb collection.' Linda Grant, Jewish Quarterly; 'Native is a dark, witty portrayal of life for Palestinian citizens of Israel, well worth reading and enjoying as insightful and stylishly written social commentary.' Electronic Intifada; 'If you are Palestinian or Israeli, Jewish, Muslim or Christian, or simply human, you will enjoy these short stories tremendously.' Huffington Post
