As the narrator becomes embroiled in a Birkin bag Ponzi scheme, the complex nature of prejudice reveals itself; she is no longer invisible, and her Mediterranean appearance grants her access to exclusive luxury goods coveted by many Americans.
Yasmin Zaher's uniquely strange novel explores statelessness and privilege, with precise political inclinations from her background as a Palestinian woman on American soil, coupled with sensorial prose.
Yasmin Zaher discusses the racial connotations of dirt, being Palestinian in New York City, and the silence around American foreign policy in her work.
