Cześć! W tym odcinku naszego podcastu przyglądamy się Palestynie — z bliska i z daleka. Słuchamy głosów osób, które piszą o palestyńskiej ziemi, o jej ludziach i o jej historii, a także tych, które żyją poza Palestyną, i które swoje doświadczenia budują w oderwaniu od ojczystego kraju i w zupełnie innych warunkach. Przyjrzymy się oszczędnej w słowa powieści Adanii Shibli „Drobny szczegół”, udamy się na wędrówkę z Rają Shehadehem dzięki jego wspomnieniom „Palestyńskie wędrówki”, wsłuchamy się w tęskny głos poety Mourida Barghoutiego, którym przemawia do nas z kart „Jestem stamtąd, jestem stąd”, i z przyjęciem będziemy śledzić drogę, którą podąża bohaterka książki Etaf Rum „Evil eye”. Książki, o których mówimy w podkaście: Adania Shibli, „Drobny szczegół”, tłum. Hanna Jankowska, Drzazgi; Raja Shehadeh, „Palestyńskie wędrówki. Zapiski o znikającym krajobrazie”, tłum. Anna Sak, Karakter; Mourid Barghouti, „Jestem stamtąd, jestem stąd”, tłum. Hanna Jankowska, Czarne; Etaf Rum, „Evli eye”. Za książkę Adanii Shibli dziękujemy wydawnictwu Drzazgi [współpraca barterowa]. Mamy Patronite! Jeżeli chcesz dołączyć do naszego grona Matronek i Patronów, będziemy zaszczycone!

On today's show, I'm joined once again by super talented writer, Etaf Rum. Etaf has written 2 powerful novels, A Woman is No Man, and most recently, Evil Eye. Her work is an intricate look into the lives of immigrant Palestinian families, dealing with serious themes of inter-generational trauma, identity, mental health, belonging, family, motherhood and so much more.  As we recorded today's episode, Israel has been relentlessly attacking Gaza, Palestine for over 50 days. 20,000 people have been killed, including 8,000 children and 1.7 million people have been displaced from their homes.  There is an increase in the spread of disease, and people are struggling to find enough food to eat or clean water to drink. With ruthless attacks on hospitals, the healthcare system has collapsed, and premature babies and Palestinian men, women and children are dying without adequate healthcare. Etaf Rum, a Palestinian-American woman herself has been vocally supporting the Palestinian cause and demands for an urgent and permanent ceasefire, but has come under fire by some of her readers, raising huge questions around whether or not readers are truly understanding the stories Etaf is telling around Palesine, the Nakba of 1948, inter-generational trauma and occupation.On the show this week, Etaf talks about what she has experienced in her own life and in the reader community since October 7th. We talk about literary empathy, performative reading, inter-generational trauma, understanding mainstream narratives about Israel and Zionism and why these are harmful, and how the liberation of us all are inter-linked.I'm grateful to Etaf for joining me on the show again today, and I hope you take something meaningful away from this conversation.I'd really appreciate it if you could rate, follow, subscribe and like, as it really helps more people discover my show.

Vaneh Assadourian and Gail Shalan perform the intimate coming-of-age story of a woman in her thirties. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile's Kendra Winchester discuss the story of Yara, a 30-something daughter of Palestinian immigrants who has it all—but who still feels burnt out and wishes for more. After an incident at her job, she starts seeing a therapist, begins to confront the trauma of her past, and works toward a better future. Assadourian skillfully narrates Yara's emotional arc in the story, while Shalan performs Yara's journal entries, giving listeners more insight into Yara's memories.

On this week's episode, we sit down with 2019 BOTY finalist Etaf Rum, author of Evil Eye. We discuss the importance of chasing your dreams, the first time Etaf felt seen as a writer, and fitting in within your community.  Raised in a conservative Palestinian family in Brooklyn, Yara thought she would finally feel free when she married an entrepreneur and moved to the suburbs. She's gotten to follow her dreams, but as a traditional wife, she also raises her two daughters, takes care of the house, and has dinner ready for her husband. When Yara faces trouble, her mother blames a family curse, and to save herself, Yara must reckon with the reality that her childhood could have damaging implications for her and her daughters' future. Get Evil Eye at bookofthemonth.com. New members get their first book for just $9.99 with code VBT at checkout.  Learn more about Virtual Book Tour at virtualbooktour.com.  

A new novel tells the story of a Palestinian-American woman who begins to wonder if she might be cursed. Yara should be happy... she has a kind husband, two adorable children, and more freedom to work than her mother did before her. But when Yara has an explosive moment at work, she begins to finally explore why she feels so angry all the time... and wonders if it's connected to an old family curse. Author Etaf Rum joins us to discuss her new novel, Evil Eye. This segment is guest-hosted by David Furst.

We've talked about memoir on this show, but never have we interviewed a memoirist herself. Sumaiya Matin is a social worker and psychotherapist, as well as the author of debut memoir THE SHAYTAN BRIDE. In her book, Sumaiya details not only her childhood as a Bangladeshi immigrant in Canada, but also the traumatic events of her early adulthood. These conflicts bring to rise questions of faith, culture, gender, and the intersections therein. Sumaiya discusses the role of her Islamic faith and distinguishing between cultural norms and religious values, which gives way to the works of Turkish writer Elif Shafak. We discuss at length Shafak's first novel, THE FORTY RULES OF LOVE. This split narrative features the spiritual relationship between renowed poet Rumi and wandering dervish Shams of Tabriz, paralleling it with a modern-day love story and spiritual awakening of Ella Rubenstein, a Boston-area housewife. Books discussed: 10 Minutes 38 Seconds in this Strange World by Elif Shafak, A Woman is No Man by Etaf Rum, Believing Women in Islam by Asma Barlas, Inside the Gender Jihad by Amina Wadud, Kimya Khatun by Saideh Ghods Find Sumaiya's memoir at her website: https://www.sumaiyamatin.com/about Follow the podcast on instagram and twitter @yfbpodcast

Enjoy our presentation of A Woman is No Man  written by Etaf Rum and published by HarperCollins. In Brooklyn, eighteen-year-old Deya is starting to meet with suitors. Though she doesn’t want to get married, her grandparents give her no choice. History is repeating itself: Deya’s mother, Isra, also had no choice when she left Palestine as a teenager to marry Adam. Though Deya was raised to believe her parents died in a car accident, a secret note from a mysterious, yet familiar-looking woman makes Deya question everything she was told about her past. As the narrative alternates between the lives of Deya and Isra, she begins to understand the dark, complex secrets behind her community.A Woman is No Man was named a Bookbrowe Best Book of the Year and Marie Claire Best Women's Fiction of the Year.  Please be advised, A Woman is No Man contains depictions or discussions of domestic abuse, physical abuse and emotional abuse. This title is available as an ebook and audiobook on Libby by Overdrive and Hoopla. Hoopla ebook:  https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/13643274  Hoopla audiobook:  https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/12195209Libby ebook:  http://bit.ly/WomanisNoMan_ebookLibby audiobook:  http://bit.ly/WomanisNoMan_audiobook Please visit www.calvertlibrary.info for more information.Music:  Beach Bum Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

Episode 069: Books by Women Better Luck Next Time by Julia Claiborne Johnson and A Woman is No Man: A Novel by Etaf Rum   Our books this week are by women authors about women. Amie’s book, A Woman is No Man, by debut author Etaf Rum has won several awards: A New York Times bestseller • A Washington Post 10 Books to Read in March • One of Cosmopolitan’s Best Books by POC for 2019 • A Refinery 29 Best Book of the Month • The Millions Most Anticipated Books of 2019! The author, Etaf Rum, an Arab-American voice, takes us inside the lives of conservative Arab women living in America. Tami’s book Better Luck Next Time by Julia Claiborne Johnson celebrates the 1930’s in Reno when it was known as the “Divorce Capita of the World”. Start Here! Here’s a Great Video from YouTube about Reno and it’s Divorce Industry Tami Read Better Luck Next Time by Julia Claiborne Johnson Amie Read A Woman is No Man by Etaf Uram See our website for some great photos—described here (while you’re there sign up for our newsletter).  We thought it would be fun to add a few images of the North Virginia Street bridge: the original, the destruction of the more than a century old bridge, and the new contemporary bridge. Rumor has it (and a few confirmed sightings) that newly divorced women tossed their rings off of this bridge right after being granted a divorce.   Julia Claiborne Johnson's book also talks about the Divorce Ranches or Dude Ranches where divorce seekers resided for their 6 weeks of required residency. Here are a few pictures of people hanging out on the ranches! There are a couple of postcards too!   Books Mentioned Be Frank With Me by Julia Claiborne Johnson Infidel by Ayaan Hirsi Ali Half the Sky by Nicolas Kristof and Sheryl Wudunn Missoula by Jon Krakauer Etaf Rum’s Books and Beans Sites Mentioned - Around Reno – see website for photos! We mentioned several places around Reno that Julia Claiborne Johnson mentioned in Better Luck Next Time - here are a few images: Top, left to right: Nevada Historical Society on the campus of the University of Nevada Reno, Parkers Western Wear (No longer in business), Pyramid Lake. Bottom, left to right: Reno’s First Airport, The Announcement of the Airmail Hangar being torn down to create the Washoe Golf Course, Lone Star Dude Ranch, Reno.   Media Mentioned  Grand Designs on Netflix and Amazon Prime  Escape to the Chateau on Peacock Yellowstone on Peacock  The Misfits Movie  The Misfits is a 1961 American drama western film written by Arthur Miller, directed by John Huston, and starring Clark Gable, Marilyn Monroe, and Montgomery Clift. The supporting cast features Thelma Ritter, Eli Wallach and Kevin McCarthy. The Misfits was the last completed film for both Clark Gable and Marilyn Monroe. For Gable, the film was posthumously released, while Monroe died in 1962. The plot centers on a newly divorced woman (Marilyn Monroe) and her time in Reno and Northern Nevada, spent with her friendly landlady Isabelle Steers (Thelma Ritter), an old school cowboy (Clark Gable), the cowboy's tow truck-driving and plane-flying friend (Eli Wallach) and their rodeo-riding, bronc-busting friend (Montgomery Clift) in Dayton, Nevada, and in the western Nevada desert in 1960. The Misfits was a commercial failure at the time of its 1961 release but received critical acclaim for its script and performances. Its reputation has shifted over the following years, and many critics now consider the film to be a masterpiece and one of the best films of the 1960s.

Jessica and I are superfans of the Morning News Tournament of Books, and have participated as readers for several years. We are not official partners of the Tournament, nor does it belong to us, but we are hopeful that all involved will take this as a fancast and that readers who haven't heard of it will participate next time. Both of us have encountered books through the Tournament we would never have read otherwise. In this bonus episode, we focus on the books from this year's Tournament (both the long and shortlist) but also end up talking about some highlights from previous years. Ready your brackets, this is the only madness happening in March!Download or listen via this link: Reading Envy 183: Birthing Rabbits with Jessica.Subscribe to the podcast via this link: FeedburnerOr subscribe via Apple Podcasts by clicking: SubscribeOr listen through TuneIn Or listen on Google Play Listen via StitcherListen through Spotify Books discussed:Most books will be best viewed here on the Tournament of Books site2020 bracketToB 2020 ShortlistToB 2020 Longlist (this is your 2020 reading list!)Other mentions:Cantoras by Carolina di RobertisThe Museum of Modern Love by Heather RoseCity of Girls by Elizabeth Gilbert The Signature of All Things by Elizabeth GilbertA Visit from the Goon Squad by Jennifer EganThe Orphan Master's Son by Adam JohnsonThe Sisters Brothers by Patrick DeWittWhite Tears by Hari KunzruMay We Be Forgiven by A.M.

Bias and inequality are concepts that generate a great deal of debate. While they may often be popularly associated with one gender having power over another or one colour of skin being afforded more privileges, there is now an emerging body of literature on some of the more complex arguments to come out of the struggle e.g. what happens when race and gender collide, who gets to decide the ‘appropriate’ way to fight bias and how to break the pattern of inequality that is generational. This International Women’s Day Katherine, Nisa and Antonia look at some books from perspectives that haven’t always been heard. Books discussed include: A woman is no man / Etaf Rum. Harper Collins, Mar 2019 The seven necessary sins for women and girls / Mona Eltahawy. Hardie Grant, Oct 2019 White tears, brown scars / Ruby Hamad. Melbourne University Press, Sep 2019

In this episode Philippa waffles on for far too long before she then starts talking about books! There are 7 books to review, so prepare for lots to choose from! "Impossible Causes" by Julie Mayhew, "A woman is no man" by Etaf Rum, "I will miss you tomorrow" by Heine Bakkeid, "Mr Todd's Reckoning" by Iain Maitland. Then the final three reviewed are: "Salt Lane" by William Shaw, "Nothing Important Happened Today" by Will Carver & finally "The Warlow Experiment" by Alix Nathan. We even squeeze in a listener's question and talk about different publishers. So many books! So little time!

In her debut novel Etaf Rum tells the story of three generations of Palestinian-American women struggling to express their individual desires within the confines of their Arab culture in the wake of shocking intimate violence in their community—a story of culture and honor, secrets and betrayals, love and violence. Set in an America at once foreign to many and staggeringly close at hand, A Woman Is No Man is an intimate glimpse into a controlling and closed cultural world, and a universal tale about family and the ways silence and shame can destroy those we have sworn to protect. "Where I come from, we've learned to silence ourselves. We've been taught that silence will save us. Where I come from, we keep these stories to ourselves. To tell them to the outside world is unheard of—dangerous, the ultimate shame.” Palestine, 1990. Seventeen-year-old Isra prefers reading books to entertaining the suitors her father has chosen for her. Over the course of a week, the naïve and dreamy girl finds herself quickly betrothed and married, and is soon living in Brooklyn. There Isra struggles to adapt to the expectations of her oppressive mother-in-law Fareeda and strange new husband Adam, a pressure that intensifies as she begins to have children—four daughters instead of the sons Fareeda tells Isra she must bear. Brooklyn, 2008. Eighteen-year-old Deya, Isra's oldest daughter, must meet with potential husbands at her grandmother Fareeda's insistence, though her only desire is to go to college. Deya can't help but wonder if her options would have been different had her parents survived the car crash that killed them when Deya was only eight. But her grandmother is firm on the matter: the only way to secure a worthy future for Deya is through marriage to the right man.

Etaf Rum is a debut author, whose book A Woman is No Man, is one of the buzziest of the year. The story follows three gerneations of women in a Palestinian family, and throughout we are asked to grapple with the themes of identity, self worth, abuse, and empowerment. Rum shares with us what it is like to hear from her readers, some of her goals, and what books she keeps around for inspiration. There are no spoilers on today's episode.

Meredith and Kaytee return to their microphones (albeit, one is in a different location than normal) to talk all things reading and great books. You’ll hear a “bookish moment of the week” from each of us: choosing road trip audiobooks and a new Little Free Library update! Next, we discuss our current reads for the week: there’s no rhyme or reason to our picks this week but almost all of them are wonderful. Which is my favorite thing. For our deep dive this week, we chat about books we buy and books we borrow and books we keep. How do we decide which books deserve a place on the physical TBR shelf (rather than the library hold list)? How do we decide which ones to let go of (and where to put them) when we’ve read them? As always, we finish up with A Book (yep, capitalized) that we’d like to press into every reader’s hands. This week’s picks are a great beach read option and a lovely autobiography.
