An Interview with Susan Abulhawa
While she was visiting Fort Wayne as the featured speaker for our Annual Gala in October, Susan kindly agreed to sit with Dr. Michael Spath for wide-ranging conversation. Here we share a bit of that interview, during which Susan discusses her experience with language, as a young immigrant and as an author. Though her mother tongue was, she says, "pilfered," as she worked to perfect English in the US, the foundation of her writing remains decidedly Arabic.
