Hong’s trenchant\, deeply felt book of essays\, Minor Feelings\, about the experience of being Asian American\, earned her a place on the cover of Time Magazine. Kashua\, an Arab Israeli novelist and newspaper columnist based in Boston\, is best-known internationally as the creator of hit TV series\, most recently Madrasa\, about a bilingual school in Jerusalem where Palestinians and Israelis try to find a common ground.
