Telling their truths with integrity, wisdom and wit, LGBTQ+ Arabs share their realities of what it is like to love freely in a place called home. These personal stories come from across the Middle East, the diaspora and from the most unlikely of places: living incognito in Saudi Arabia; the Libyan desert during conscripted military service; making it happen as an exile in Manhattan.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThey also come from the heart - from a concert in Cairo where the rainbow flag was raised to a crowd of thousands, and from whispers between lovers, caught between the bed sheets. Contributors range from prize-winning novelists to those forced to use a pseudonym for their own safety. Here, for the first time, queer Arabs show us the view from where they stand; opening a window into a bigger, brighter world.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePaperback \/ 288 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Bookish Type","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42821869764823,"sku":"","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0264\/0891\/0933\/products\/9780863564789.jpg?v=1654092049","url":"https:\/\/thebookishtype.pro\/products\/this-arab-is-queer-an-anthology-by-lgbtq-arab-writers-edited-by-elias-jahshan","provider":"The Bookish Type","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
