This oracular first novel, which unfurls like gossamer [has] characters of a depth seldom found in a debut.' The New YorkerIn Diana AbuJaber's 'impressive, entertaining' (Chicago Tribune) first novel, a small, poorwhite community in upstate New York becomes home to the transplanted Jordanian family of Matussem Ramoud: his grown daughters, Jemorah and Melvina; his sister Fatima; and her husband, Zaeed. The widower Matuseem loves American jazz, kitschy lawn ornaments, and, of course, his daughters. Fatima is obsessed with seeing her nieces marriedJemorah is nearly thirty! Supernurse Melvina is firmly committed to her work, but Jemorah is ambivalent about her identity and role. Is she Arab? Is she American? Should she marry and, if so, whom?Winner of the Oregon Book Award and finalist for the National PEN/Hemingway Award, Arabian Jazz is 'a joy to readYou will be tempted to read passages out loud. And you should' (Boston Globe). USA Today praises AbuJaber's 'gift for dialogue...her ArabAmerican rings musically, and hilariously, true.'
