Edward, your awkward childhood is pretty endearing. I'm happily surprised that all this didn't make you a very unkind person.

I think Said doesn’t fully address his economic class. Theres some understanding based on his father’s successful Cairo business and the many Pell who work for their family, but what did that translate to in their New York trip where they stayed in hotels and went to summer camp in Maine. How expensive was that?

Edward’s pursuit of Farid’s story is so intimate. I’ll definitely remember the sorrow.

The last words Edward Said’s father ever said to him, while dying, were; “I’m worried about what those Zionists will do to you. Be careful.” That is heartbreaking.
