Mai Al-Nakib, AN UNLASTING HOME

Zibby is joined by professor and author Mai Al-Nakib to discuss her debut novel, An Unlasting Home, an intergenerational story inspired by Kuwait's short-lived attempt to charge blasphemy as a capital crime. The two talk about what Mai loves most about being a teacher, her unique educational history and journey to writing, and the women in her life who helped shape her. Mai also shares how she kept track of such a massive family tree as she wrote and what her typical writing process looks like.
