Download or read book Fencing with the King A Novel written by Diana Abu-Jaber and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2022-03-15 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of The Millions' Most Anticipated Books of the Month A mesmerizing breakthrough novel of family myths and inheritances by the award-winning author of Crescent. The King of Jordan is turning 60! How better to celebrate the occasion than with his favorite pastime—fencing—and with his favorite sparring partner, Gabriel Hamdan, who must be enticed back from America, where he lives with his wife and his daughter, Amani. Amani, a divorced poet, jumps at the chance to accompany her father to his homeland for the King’s birthday. Her father’s past is a mystery to her—even more so since she found a poem on blue airmail paper slipped into one of his old Arabic books, written by his mother, a Palestinian refugee who arrived in Jordan during World War I. Her words hint at a long-kept family secret, carefully guarded by Uncle Hafez, an advisor to the King, who has quite personal reasons for inviting his brother to the birthday party. In a sibling rivalry that carries ancient echoes, the Hamdan brothers must face a reckoning, with themselves and with each other—one that almost costs Amani her life. With sharp insight into modern politics and family dynamics, taboos around mental illness, and our inescapable relationship to the past, Fencing with the King asks how we contend with inheritance: familial and cultural, hidden and openly contested. Shot through with warmth and vitality, intelligence and spirit, it is absorbing and satisfying on every level, a wise and rare literary treat.

Download or read book They Called Me Wyatt written by Natasha Tynes and published by Cinestate. This book was released on 2020-04-16 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Jordanian student Siwar Salaiha is murdered on her birthday in College Park, Maryland, her consciousness survives, finding refuge in the body of a Seattle baby boy. Stuck in this speech delayed three-year old body, Siwar tries but fails to communicate with Wyatt's parents, instead she focuses on solving the mystery behind her murder. Eventually, her consciousness goes into a dormant state after Wyatt undergoes a major medical procedure. Natasha Tynes had only recently sold her novel They Called Me Wyatt when she ran afoul of cancel culture for snitching on a rail worker who was breaking the rules by eating on a train. Look it up on Goodreads and—as of this writing—you’ll discover nearly 2,000 one-star ratings and over a thousand reviews—many, if not most of them, from people who give the book one star despite admitting they never read it, parroting the lie that “Natasha Tynes hates black women.” As a publisher myself, it’s personally distressing that a book’s reputation can be tanked by a horde of people who’ve never even seen the novel in question when so many authors struggle to generate even triple-digit reviews from people who’ve actually taken the time to sit down and read the book they’re reviewing. Tynes’ work suffered for her bad behavior—unjustly, unfairly, and unread. Almost two thousand negative reactions—when only a few hundred copies were even ordered, and when Tynes’ previous publisher stopped shipment on books after her tweet went viral. Tynes—again, a woman of color, mother of three, and immigrant to the United States with journalistic bylines under her belt in a variety of publications around the world—had her career ended before it began because the demons of outrage so decreed it. The problem is that They Called me Wyatt is a good book—a compelling, original thriller that, under other circumstances, would instead be praised for its unique and original voice, weaving together the stories and lives of people from a multitude of cultures and backgrounds for a one-of-a-kind espionage thriller. Tynes’ literary voice captures a woman caught between multiple worlds: first, as a teenage immigrant to the US, and then as an adult woman trapped in the body of a young boy after her murder results in reincarnation. Growing up with an identity not her own—and struggling with what her identity even is—Tynes’ protagonist goes on a journey fantastically reminiscent of so many immigrants to the United States who attempt to forge a new identity while remaining faithful to their own culture. All of this was lost, though, amidst the outrage. Readers were never given the opportunity to discover Tynes’ work on its own terms, to be judged on its own merits. Until now. I’ve decided to publish They Called Me Wyatt because I believe in second chances. Natasha Tynes has since apologized for her tweet and acknowledged her bad behavior. I respect that. I believe in forgiveness and growth. I believe that people can learn from their past mistakes and move beyond them. I do not believe in the one-and-done brutality of Twitter’s outrage police. I do not believe that one ignorant tweet should brand an individual forever and ruin their career. I do not believe an artist’s work should be judged on the basis of one act of stupidity on the part of its creator. That’s why, just like its protagonist, I’ve decided to reincarnate They Called me Wyatt as the first entry in the REBELLER literary imprint. REBELLER is about bucking the system—about seeing a good idea, being told it can’t be done, and doing it anyway. It’s about judging art on its merits and turning our backs on a Hollywood system and elitist mindset that would determine the worth—or worthlessness—of something based on arbitrary rules. It’s about remaining calm in the face of certain fury that will be leveled on us by those most insecure and apoplectic from our confidence in our convictions. It’s about something being dangerous and doing it anyway.
