the prose draws me in; jumaana abdu has somehow managed to extract prosal rhythm and lyricism from the english language

This has been a highly enjoyable read so far, Abdu has a gift not only for evocative prose, but a talent for introducing sensitive topics with both gentleness and grace. As a white Australian boomer, I am being gently led through a world view that I would not otherwise have encountered. My only complaint is that a writer of this calibre shines a spotlight on the paucity of my own efforts. :-)

Should i be shipping an Imam with anyone this hard i dunno

Ok but what does “observant in the contemporaneous past of constant memory” even mean😭

This writing is amazing
