I read this last December, but sneaking it in:
6. The Bandit Queens by @PariniShroff (though published internationally, it’s set in India): a wickedly funny, bold, hopeful tale of a bunch of women in a village conspiring to kill off their awful husbands.

🚨Oxfam and 37 other aid groups:
"The Israeli forces’ assault on Gaza has escalated to a horrifying level of atrocity. Northern Gaza is being wiped off the map... No food has been allowed into the area, and civilians are being starved and bombed in their homes and tents."

A powerful tribute to a beautiful soul:
Shaban Al Dalu, a young man whom Israel—using our bombs—displaced, wounded, and eventually burned alive in his makeshift hospital bed.

WATCH: @chrislhayes honors Shaban Al Dalu, a Palestinian teen who burned to death after an Israeli strike.
"That young man should have celebrated his 20th birthday today. Instead, the world became a witness to his violent death in a video depicting the endless horrors in Gaza—horrors that whether we like it or not, our government and our weapons are facilitating day after day until something changes."

Israel has just informed organizations that’ve been providing life saving medical care in hospitals in Gaza that they’ll no longer be allowed to enter Gaza. While the world isnt watching, Israel is blocking even the little medical aid that was entering Gaza. Now they have nothing

The Bandit Queens by @PariniShroff tells the tale of Geeta and her friends as they take revenge on the men who have used and abused them in their rural Indian village. Darky comic, it’s crying out for a Netflix adaptation, hello @shondarhimes? #hunderrated

I wrote about the audience meant to receive Israeli soldiers' displays of genocidal sadism, and why medicalizing language ("settler psychosis") conflates illness with morality and obscures culpability and history and everything else, for @thebafflermag

“[Obreht] lets the diminished world of the novel, like the future our younger generations will face, speak for itself.”
Blown away by this @NewYorker essay on the novels of Téa Obreht 🐅🐪🐕🦺

Trespasses by Louise Kennedy and Rodham by Curtis Sittenfeld were both divisive. Bandit Queens by @PariniShroff was beloved by my entire book club.

“Oi, can you please tell your dog that I’m a married woman?”😂
'Bandit Queens' by @PariniShroff is the FUNNIEST book I've ever read. And in between all the belly laughs, it pulls off a smart and incisive social critique. What an achievement, I bow down to you!

Some reviews say Leg is "graphic" or "explicit" because it deals frankly with having sex as a gay disabled person: topping, bottoming, blow jobs, masturbation, ED. It's taken me a lifetime to see myself not as "cute" or "sweet" but sexy. Disabled people are.
