Ghassan Zeineddine’s Dearborn: Short stories about Arab-American life
A man whose nest egg takes the form of cash stuffed in frozen chickens, a butcher whose occasional transgenderism expresses itself in an abaya [a robe-like dress] and niqab [a long garment covering a woman’s body and face, excluding the eyes], a community thrown into disarray by the sudden appearance of a man in a Speedo. These are a few of the premises of Ghassan Zeineddine’s deceptively comical book of stories, Dearborn (Tin House, 2023).
