Maymanah Farhat considers Kamal Boullata's monograph on painter Hani Zurob in a brief post that marks the beginning of a new series of short reviews on the culture page. Maymanah also interviews artist and art magazine publisher Amir H. Fallah as he debuts new portraits and still-lifes at The Third Line gallery in Dubai. Elliott Colla contributes an excerpt from his recent translation of Raba'i al-Madhoun's novel The Lady from Tel Aviv. Elliott also reviews Mona Prince's new memoir Revolution is My Name.
