PRAISE FOR THE LOVERS Sometimes, Kassab shows us, love can be another word for cruelty. Sometimes the stories we hide behind reveal our deepest truths. - Sydney Morning Herald Beautifully told in Yumna Kassab's poetic prose, The Lovers is both the story of the tumultuous relationship between Amir and Jamila and an exploration of class, culture and the complex nature of love. - Sunday Life The delicate power that fables hold their universality, while retaining their specificity is captured in The Lovers.

Shortlisted for the 2020 NSW Premier's Literary Awards UTS Glenda Adas Award for New WritingLonglisted for the Stella Prize 2020Shortlisted for the 2020 Victorian Premier's Literary Awards: FictionThe House of Youssef is a collection of short stories set in Western Sydney. The stories explore the lives of Lebanese migrants who have settled in the area, circling around themes of isolation, family and community, and nostalgia for the home country. In particular, House of Youssef is about relationships, and the customs which complicate them: between parents and children, the dark secrets of marriage, the breakable bonds between friends. The stories are told with extreme minimalism some are only two pages long which heightens their emotional intensity.The collection is framed by two soliloquies. The first expresses thelonging of an old man for the homeland he will never return to. The second is themonologue of a woman, who could be his wife, addressed to her daughter, aboutlife and its disappointments. The twocentral sequences are composed of vignettes which focus on moments of domestic crisis,and which combine, in the title sequence, to chart the demise of a singlefamily. Kassab portrays the lives of ordinary people simple,unglamorous, down-to-earth. Her understated style isolates small details andthe anxieties that lurk within them. The tiny shifts in a normal day are anentire world to the people at the centre of her stories.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. In The Theory of Everything, Kassab realises the potential and fulfils the promise of her earlier work. This is a writer at her intellectual and poetic peak. Innovative, ambitious, unapologetically intellectual, fearlessly honest, deeply emotional. Read this book you will be changed. Shankari Chandran, Miles Franklinaward winning author of Chai Time at Cinnamon GardensGood News: The worst has already happened.Bad News: Even worse is on the way.This is a fictional theory, a rant, a manifesto, an engagement or disengagement with the times, a record; it is bearing witness, a dramatisation of actual events, a horror-scape, either a monologue or dialogue, a testament, travel guide, handbook, textbook, potential encyclopaedia; it is five mini-novels or else five post-novels, an epic, a drop in the ocean, an homage, a reference, one long secret handshake, an agreement, a wink; it is an explosion of form, tangential, discursive, a firming of the foundations, a lament, an absurdist comedy with realism that is as realistic as it gets; it is a spectrum, shades of black from the dark to the next shade up from white, a proliferation, a step back, a righting, a note to oneself, a line in the sand or a gust in the form of a structure-shaking gale; it is a dance (a two-footed, single-person linedance), an experiment, pure science, flicking the finger; it is, of course, backing away, crossing the street and avoiding eye contact; it is fantasy, humour, a romance without any leads, a defiance, a subdued rebellion, an anti-philosophical philosophy; it is pacifism that instigates a fight, a denouncement in the form of a laugh, an exploration, an adventure, a time lapse, a panorama, a conclusion; you may just have to read the theory because these are just alluding-to-the-theory words.PRAISE FOR THE THEORY OF EVERYTHINGA genre-defying work that blurs fiction, essay and manifesto to interrogate contemporary life and ideas. Fragmented and intellectually sharp, it boldly challenges narrative convention while probing power, gender and meaning. Women's AgendaAmbitious and far-ranging in scope ArtshubKassab tackles almost everything, from gender and social inequality to love and war, and whatever else it is, this is stylish and searching writing, with an exquisite command of language holding fast through unstable experimentation with form. Sydney Morning HeraldLike the philosopher who is freed from the cave and can see the truth, Kassab exposes the flaws in our thinking. If a novels purpose is to reflect our world, this post-novels purpose appears to be to encourage us to question that world, to think differently, to see beyond the shadows. The ConversationKassab has written fireworks into these pages. The Guardianambitious in scope and style Big IssueKassabs book poses questions about the novel form and answers them in ways that are continuously surprising and probing. It is both personal and expansive; introspective and ambitious.

Favel Parrett, author of Past the Shallows and There Was Still Love 'Kassab creates an eerie sense of place as the reader is drawn into myriad perspectives and geographies. Without doubt Australiana is an unnerving contribution to contemporary novel writing in this continent.' - Books + Publishing poetic, wise and peppered with black humour. - T: The New York Times Style Magazine AustraliaOne small town, a multitude of stories.When the river runs dry, the town runs red. This could be any small town. It aches under the heat of summer. It flourishes in the cooler months. Everyone knows everyone. Their families, histories and stories are interwoven and well-known by one and all. Or at least, they think they are. But no-one sees anything quite the same way. Perceptions differ, truths are elusive, judgements have outcomes and everything is connected. For better or for worse. This is a version of small-town Australia that is recognisable, both familiar and new, exploring the characters, threads, and connections that detail everyday life to reveal a much bigger story. A tapestry that makes up this place called home. From the acclaimed author of The House of Youssef comes this extraordinary and unique novel shining a light on Australian rural life. It is a novel of themes, textures, and interplay, seeking engagement through white space and chorus. - The Australian There are times that reading these stories feels like being let in on some juicy gossip. And other times, we witness tragedy that is usually hidden from outsiders. In this way, I see Australiana as not merely challenging the established mythology of the regions but creating a new one. - Sydney Review of Books Australiana plays with myths of Australian bush life while simultaneously restoring focus on the stories of those who live their lives in the regions. I recognise my young self and those I lived among in its pages. - The ConversationPRAISE FOR THE HOUSE OF YOUSSEF The unadorned style and unobtrusive realism of this book mask, at first, how experimental and original it is in other ways Sydney Morning Herald Kassabs prose is unsparing and frank yet unstinting Australian Book Review Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
