description: Available again, Arabesques is a classic, complex novel of identity, memory, and history in the Middle East and points beyond―including Iowa and New York City. Anton Shammas, the first Arab to write a novel in Hebrew, has given us a riveting look at a people we hear too little Palestinian Christians. Arabesques was chosen as one of the best books of 1988 by the editors of the New York Times Book Review.
