And the Winner Is….
Gina Choe, who promised to read Mourid Barghouti’s I Saw Ramallah and Tayeb Salih’s Season of Migration to the North.
Thanks to everyone who participated in this year’s summer reading challenge! And we still have a very worthy list of contemporary and not-so-contemporary titles, as we asked critics, professors, booksellers, writers and translators which five (Arabic) books they would suggest you must read “before you die.”
(You’d better get going; it’s quite a list.)
Also, the latest review by a reading-challenge participant is Joanna’s review of Ahdaf Soueif’s The Map of Love. You can read her detailed review here.

Thank you, M! I have been talking up your blog; it’s a great resource for those of us interested in hearing/reading more voices from the Arabic world.
