AMERIE'S BOOK CLUB February 2024 | Dearborn by Ghassan Zeineddine

Follow @AmeriesBookClub on IG, and join me and Ghassan Zeineddine on my IGLIVE (@Amerie) at the end of February 1pm EST/10am PST. Bring your questions!
Loves and losses, triumphs and regrets-Ghassan Zeineddine explores these and more in his short story collection about the inner lives of the Arab American residents of Dearborn, Michigan, AKA the Arab American Capitol of the United States. At times tender, sad, wistful, and hilarious, there always exists a sense of endearment throughout the collection, whether from myself or between the characters, themselves. There is struggle and tension, yes, but there is perpetual love as Dearborn’s Arab American citizens navigate family, marriage, sexuality, and nostalgia-not to mention ICE and the IRS. Zeineddine’s deft characterization and sense of place left me feeling as if at any moment I could put the book down, jump on a plane, and meet in real life my new Dearbornean friends.
