And for and #edwardabbey fans, i would suggest Raja Shehadeh's Palestinian Walks. Maybe he's the #Palestinian Edward Abbey. With the added context of life under #occupation.
Just finished Etaf Rum's A Woman Is No Man. An unexpected, sad, generational story of resilience. Not that i didn't know women or Palestinians were resilient, but it begins in a certain patriarchal way but spreads out hopefully as we get to know our characters.
And i love an author's essay at the end talking about their life, what inspired them, what is autobiographical about their fiction, which this one has.
