Winner of the International Prize for Arabic Fiction A bold, psychologically rich novel of identity, exile, and resistance from one of Palestine’s most vital literary voices—written entirely from behind bars. Nur, a young Palestinian refugee from a camp near Ramallah, is often mistaken for an Ashkenazi Jew. Fluent in Hebrew and with a degree in archaeology, he dreams of freedom beyond the fences of the camp—and of writing a novel about Mary Magdalene based on the Gnostic Gospels.
Charis in the World of Wonders Marly Youmans (Ignatius Press) Set in Massachusetts Bay Colony during the 1690s, Charis in the World of Wonders plunges us into the mind, language, and worldview of a young woman struggling to survive yet finding grace in unexpected places. Youmans’s lush prose evokes a preindustrial, perilous, socially connected world in which the Divine has sovereign reign over outcomes both joyous and sorrowful.
When you visit Oxford and walk through its cobbled lanes, beside the walls and cloisters of the colleges, you will eventually spill out to the broad thoroughfare of Saint Giles. There you will find a pub called the Eagle and Child, nicknamed the Bird and Baby, a site that has become a pilgrimage for readers and writers alike since C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien began meeting there with their circle, the Inklings, in the 1930s.
