emily_mh's review against another edition

4.0

This graphic novel is a series of insightful autobiographical vignettes detailing Arab American and Palestinian (diaspora) culture. The art style was fantastic; I loved the use of texture and the way panels and drawings were arranged. This was especially stunning in the story “Domestic Goddess.”

Overall my favourite stories were Textiles, Should/Am and Rolling Leaves and the Grape Leaf Getaway Car. Honourable mentions go to What Leila Khaled Said and The Stealth Arab, which were thought-provoking.
