From my essay that a lot of liberal Zionists are complaining about: "as Arabs we had long ago observed that if you play out the string, or let the string play out on its own, then these supposedly apolitical cultural productions always end up justifying Israel, as do their producers."
Huge thanks to Joshua Sperber and @counterpunchmedia.bsky.social for a rave review of @stevesalaita.bsky.social's new novel JERRY AND RODRIGO GO TO WAR!

"Of the campus lit I’ve read, Kingsley Amis’s LUCKY JIM and Bernard Malamud’s A NEW LIFE are the funniest, John Williams’ STONER is the most poignant, and Vladimir Nabokov’s PNIN is the most playful. JERRY AND RODRIGO GO TO WAR brings together the best of each of these."
TAKE OVER THE CITY by Neil Gray provides the first comprehensive spatial analysis of Italian operaismo and the extraordinary urban struggles of 1970s Italy.
