In today's episode of the Seen Jeem podcast, Sahar Mustafah discusses her debut and award-winning novel The Beauty of Your Face. Mustafah goes into detail about the writing of her book, which includes employing an episodic narrative structure and dramatizing the horror of a school shooting at an Islamic school for girls located in the Chicago suburbs. She talks about the representation of Arab American and Muslim American women in her fiction, and how her representations challenge the publishing industry’s stereotypes of such women.
