Recenzii
"Reading The Hookah Girl , I felt like I was sitting in Dabaie's childhood home, surrounded by family, home cooking, laughter and stories of their homeland. This is a book that, like its author, refuses to squeeze itself into a box: full of heartbreak and humor, history and pride. I'm so glad that this collection of comics in all their intricate, loving detail are finally available to a wider readership. It's about time." Sarah Glidden, author of How to Understand Israel in 60 Days and Rolling Blackouts
"Through personal anecdotes, essays, and history lessons, the comix stories of The Hookah Girl confront the expectations thrust upon a young Palestinian-American woman. By turns serious and joyfulbut always honestlyDabaie adds a vital perspective to the ongoing conversation." Josh Neufeld, author of A.D.: New Orleans After the Deluge
" The Hookah Girl is a blast of honest, wry and raw humor from the heart and the brain of Marguerite Dabaie, who refuses to buy the official line on anything. Here is the straight scoop not just on being a young Arab woman in the West, but how to be in a society challenged, as never before, to reconcile its democratic ethos with its (now officially sanctioned) legacy of intolerance. Her art takes us to important and forbidden places ... and we are all enriched." Steve Brodner, illustrator, caricaturist, and political commentator
