| A haunting memoir that explores identity, history, displacement, and war from an Arab American perspective A mosaic of lyrical vignettes, at once deeply personal and political, set against the turbulent backdrop of Arab/Western relations, from the violent legacy of T.E. Lawrence to the contemporary catastrophes of Lebanon and the war on Iraq. Adnan writes, “Contrary to what is usually believed, it is not general ideas and grandiose unfolding of great events that impress the mind during times of heightened historic upheavals, but rather the uninterrupted flow of little experiences, observations, disturbances, small ecstasies, or barely perceptible discouragements that make up day-to-day living.” Etel Adnan, a Lebanese American poet, painter, and essayist, lives in Paris, Beirut, and the San Franciso Bay Area. Among her books, the novel Sitt Marie Rose is considered a classic of Middle Eastern Literature. She has been powerful voice for compassion and empowerment in feminist and antiwar movements. |
