These Are the Bullets I Love

This novel received an encouragement award at the A M Qattan Foundation’s 2011 Young Writers Awards. The jury stated: “This work is distinct in its courageous content and style. It employs novel imagery and language that captivates its reader… it addresses the resistance in [national] struggle terms and also in terms of its anti-democratic transgressions. There is some satire of the patriarchy, but one that forgoes patronising discourse in favour of irony. Stylistically, this work is at home with the narrative aesthetics established by Emile Habibi in The Pessoptimist.”
