In Diana Abu-Jaber's "impressive, entertaining" (Chicago Tribune) first novel, a small, poor-white community in upstate New York becomes home to the transplanted Jordanian family of Matussem Ramoud: his grown daughters, Jemorah and Melvina; his sister Fatima; and her husband, Zaeed. The widower Matuseem loves American jazz, kitschy lawn ornaments, and, of course, his daughters. Fatima is obsessed with seeing her nieces married Jemorah is nearly thirty Supernurse Melvina is firmly committed to her work, but Jemorah is ambivalent about her identity and role. Is she Arab? Is she American? Should she marry and, if so, whom? Winner of the Oregon Book Award and finalist for the National PEN/Hemingway Award, Arabian Jazz is "a joy to read.... You will be tempted to read passages out loud. And you should" (Boston Globe). USA Today praises Abu-Jaber's "gift for dialogue...her Arab-American rings musically, and hilariously, true."

Beware of Size
Size: XX-Large, Color: White
Inconsistency in size per other reviews. The site said XL was my suggested size.....I usually follow that advice. I went XXL this time and happy I did. The neck is a medium and the rest is maybe XL....it feels "fitted" too...not very loose. I will keep it as I like a snug neck---but this needs effort to pull over my head. Having said that, the material is soft and not too thick. Just beware of sizes.

Not black and Runs small
Size: X-Large, Color: Black
I ordered black but it was more like charcoal gray. I ordered a XL and it fit like a Large at best. The fabric was very soft, so that was a positive. Very disappointed in the color and sizing. I reordered a 2XL and it also runs very small. It fit about the same as the XL did. It is a athletic fit. There is barely any size difference between an XL and a 2XL. Highly recommend to not waste your money on this shirt.
