"I'm so in awe of women who go out everyday in quite a volatile climate since 9/11 and are still showing up and not surrendering or relinquishing their hijab." - Sahar Mustafah

Sahar Mustafah is a daughter of Palestinian immigrants, a complex inheritance she explores in her work. Her prize-winning short story collection Code of the West (2017) is followed by her first novel The Beauty of Your Face (2020). She writes and teaches outside of Chicago.
