A Palestinian American 'Sex and the City'

Betty Shamieh's debut novel, 'Too Soon,' challenges the conventional narrative surrounding Palestinian stories by introducing a rebellious and lighthearted tone, diverging from trauma-heavy narratives.
Shamieh's work is significant in that it not only aims to provoke laughter but also critiques the expectation that Palestinian narratives must always be solemn or educational, offering a refreshing take.
