Download Native: Dispatches from an Israeli-Palestinian Life AudioBook Free
Sayed Kashua has been praised by The NY Times as "a get good at of refined nuance in working with both Arab and Jewish society". An Arab-Israeli who lived in Jerusalem for the majority of his life, Kashua started writing with the hope of creating one story that both Palestinians and Israelis could relate to, somewhat than two that cannot coexist mutually. He dedicated his books and his satirical weekly column printed in Haaretz to revealing to the Palestinian story and discovering the contradictions of modern Israel while also recording the nuances of day-to-day family life in every its tenderness and chaos. With a romantic shade fueled by deep-seated apprehension and razor-sharp ironic wit, Kashua has been documenting his own life in adition to that of society at large: He creates about his children's upbringing and encounters with racism, about fatherhood and marriage, the Jewish-Arab turmoil, his professional ambitions, journeys round the world as an writer, and - more than anything - his love of books and literature. He brings forth a series of excellent, caustic, wry, and fearless reflections on communal and ethnic dynamics as experienced by somebody who straddles two societies. Written between 2006 and 2014, Native is similar to an unrestrained, profoundly thoughtful personal journal.
