Comment on Interview with Abdi Nazemian by Kasey

Wow! I’ve only read a couple of Abdi Nazemian’s books, but I want to read more. I love what he has to say here about how we don’t exist to be liked, and if that’s how we’re approaching characters in a book, it might be how we’re approaching ourselves. I had to sit back and think on that. Well said. Thanks for sharing this!

I would include Warga’s Other Words for Home, Abawi’s A Land of Permanent Goodbyes, Senzai’s Escape From Aleppo, Algarmi’s Almost Sunset, and of course, Safadi, Shifa Saltagi. Kareem Between. There is a large Somali population at my school, and I’ve struggled for twenty years to find books showcasing that culture.

Glad to hear this was good. I started it on audio but am not a huge fan of some of the narration so am switching to print.

In reply to cheriee weichel. It's definitely fun to see how the authors can play with the stories. Thanks for reading and I hope you get to explore some of the titles.
