After a rich academic career, Prof. Malti-Douglas turned her attention to other muses, publishing a novel in 1998, and poetry (incl. a chapbook of visual poetry). Fedwa’s honors include the 1997 Kuwait Prize in Arts \u0026amp; Letters, \u0026amp; the Nat. Humanities Medal for 2014, presented by Pres. Barack Obama. This volume tells the story of a family torn apart by divorce, death, and exile, \u0026amp; reunited by an inherited form of muscular dystrophy. It has been praised as “a memoir of unpitying clarity,” “deeply moving \u0026amp; arresting,” which “crosses landscapes of sadness, of happiness, of pain \u0026amp; peace, of alienation \u0026amp; acceptance, toward a healing enlargement of the soul.” Color photos.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fedwa Malti-Douglas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48176285286651,"sku":"9781606180648","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_435b1514-6ac7-4836-89cd-c2d86de7e465.jpg?v=1770649582","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/speaking-in-tongues-9781606180648","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
