“A master of subtle nuance in dealing with both Arab and Jewish society” (New York Times), Sayed Kashua is an Arab-Israeli who lived in Jerusalem for most of his life. He is the author of three novels— Dancing Arabs, Let It Be Morning, and Second Person Singular—and he publishes a weekly column in Haaretz newspaper. His numerous international awards include the Grinzane Cavour Award for First Novel, the Prime Minister’s Prize (Israel), and the Prix des Lecteurs du Var (France). In his new book Native, Kashua documents his everyday family life, in all its tenderness and chaos, as well as society at large, fearlessly reflecting on social and cultural dynamics as experienced by someone who straddles two societies.
