Alshammari’s layered meditation on the disabled body as both a site of loss as well as endurance is propelled forward by sharp observations and a quiet brilliance that had me turning pages well into the night.

The New Arab
The New Arab, also known as Al-Araby Al-Jadeed, is a London-based pan-Arab news organization that focuses on digital and print journalism related to the Middle East, North Africa (MENA), and global diasporas. Founded in 2014, it is operated by Fadaat Media Ltd and led by CEO Abdulrahman Elshayyal, a former BBC executive. The organization is recognized for its left-center bias and mostly factual reporting. The New Arab offers primary news platforms in both English and Arabic, with a strong emphasis on politics, human rights, social justice, and culture in the MENA region. It features an investigative unit that addresses issues such as corruption and organized crime, along with a public-interest-driven fact-checking series called "For the Record." The organization aims to engage progressive readers, diaspora communities, and policy analysts, promoting discourse that counters autocratic narratives and highlights marginalized voices.
