Description
Ghassan Zeineddine's debut collection Dearborn Stories spans several decades and explores the complexities of the Arab American community in Dearborn, Michigan. Ten tragicomic stories delve into themes of identity, generational conflicts, war trauma, migration, sexuality, queerness, home and belonging. Through humorous, incisive and deeply moving tales, Zeineddine introduces readers to an arresting new voice in contemporary fiction. These stories invite us to consider what it means to be part of a place and community, and how we help one another survive. With its unique perspective on the Arab American experience, Dearborn Stories offers a thought-provoking and deeply human exploration of the immigrant condition. By turns wildly funny and profoundly moving, this collection invites readers to engage with its arresting new voice and consider the complexities of identity, belonging and community.
