Sayed Kashua is a prominent author and journalist, a Palestinian citizen of Israel. Kashua is known for his novels and Israeli TV series “Arab Labor,” “The Writer,” and “Madrasa.” His humorous columns in the Israeli newspaper Ha’aretz were collated into a book titled Native: Dispatches from an Israeli-Palestinian Life. In a humorous, tongue-in-cheek style, Kashua addresses the problems faced by Arabs in Israel, caught between two worlds. His novels are: Second Person Singular, winner of the prestigious Berstein Prize; Let It Be Morning, shortlisted for the international IMPAC Dublin Literary Award; and Dancing Arabs, which was adapted into the film "A Borrowed Identity". Kashua's work has appeared in The New Yorker, the New York Times, and the Guardian, among other publications.
