عن الحلقة
Another of our short book-quiz episodes. Here we give the answer to a question about an Arab poet who emigrated to the US and translated some of the Beat poets. And we ask a question about Oman, where Jokha Alharthi’s “Bitter Orange Tree,” discussed in our last episode, is set. Send your best guesses to [email protected]. The first listener to respond with the right answer will get a book in the mail!
