SUMMARY:The Hidden Light of Objects
DESCRIPTION:MASSACHUSETTS\nThe CMES Director's Series\n\nis pleased to pres
 ent\nMai Al-Nakib\nAssociate Professor\, Department of English Language &a
 mp\; Literature\, Graduate Program in Comparative Literary &amp\; Cultural
  Studies\, College of Arts\, Kuwait University\n\nJoin Kuwaiti author Mai 
 Al-Nakib as she discusses her collection and the experience of living and 
 writing in the Middle East. The headlines tell of war\, unrest\, and relig
 ious clashes. But if you look beyond them you may see another side of life
  in the Middle East—adolescent love\, yearnings for independence\, the f
 ragility of marriage\, pain of the most quotidian kind. The loosely linked
  short stories in The Hidden Light of Objects carefully trace overlooked
  moments in the lives of those who reside in this fraught region of the wo
 rld—and the power of objects to hold extraordinary memories.\n\nMai Al-N
 akib is Associate Professor of English and Comparative Literature at Kuwai
 t University. Her research addresses a wide range of issues linked to cult
 ural politics in the Middle East—from Arab feminisms to the ethical ques
 tion of Palestinians in Kuwait. The Hidden Light of Objects(Bloomsbury US
 \, January 2015) won the Edinburgh International Book Festival’s First B
 ook Award in 2014\, the first short story collection to win in the history
  of the award. She is currently writing her first novel.\n
