I typically juggle two or three books at a time: one by my bedside that I read before sleeping, one on audio that I listen to in the car or while doing mundane tasks, and one that I keep in my purse and pull out whenever I have reading time. I also consume “easy reading” books, among which, recently, is Elena Ferrante’s My Brilliant Friend . I just finished reading James Baldwin’s The Fire Next Time and W.E.B. Du Bois’ Dark Princess . I am currently reading The Sympathizer by Viet Thanh Nguyen and The Book of Negroes by Lawrence Hill.
Susan Abulhawa is the author of Mornings in Jenin and The Blue Between Sky and Water
