Him, Me, Muhammad Ali

Loved, loved this short story collection. Read this for the Read Harder Challenge where all POV characters are POC. Read this in one sitting - engaging characters and stories about the immigrant (middle eastern) experiences. Highly recommend this collection

DrexEdit Omg. This is on my read harder challenge list too! This is the only other place I have seen this book posted. I'm glad you liked it. I haven't started it yet but I'm looking forward to it! 😊 7y

Booksnchill @DrexEdit hope you enjoy it! 7y

Him, Me, Muhammad Ali | Randa Jarrar

I was taking this in the car with me when youngest kid says incredulously, "You're reading a book about Muhammad Ali?" He seemed relieved when I said no because it reinforced his image of me, whatever that may be. What I didn't tell him was that because I'm a reader, I could and would totally read a book about Muhammed Ali.

After the horror of the 'Muslim ban' I decided that I would read one book by/about Muslims each month. My January pick was this fantastic short story collection. Randa Jarrar is a phenomenal writer and some of these stories are among the best I've read. It is a slim collection, but don't let that fool you into thinking it's not incredible because it certainly is.

Cinfhen Will check it out😊 8y

Him, Me, Muhammad Ali | Randa Jarrar

This is a collection of short stories focusing on Muslim women and men in different circumstances. I've read a story about a tightrope walker wanting the moon after a failed attempt when she was younger, a woman who makes some discoveries about her sexuality, and a woman dealing with her pregnancy and not-so-great relationship with her boyfriend. I'm liking the variety so far!
