Description
Mona and the Arabs and Other Works
Natalie Mckelvy
Arab‑American literature
Middle Eastern cultural narratives
Historical and cross‑cultural storytelling
…this book sits in an interesting niche: American fiction about cross‑cultural relationships, written in the early 1990s, with a comedic tone rather than a sociological or autobiographical one.
It’s not a canonical Arab‑American text like Rihbany or Rihani, but it does play with cultural misunderstandings in a way that might interest you as a contrast to more serious immigrant narratives.
