Embrace on Brooklyn Bridge
This book has been translated through Hoopoe Fiction Publishing House
On the eve of Salma’s twenty-first birthday, scattered friends and family converge on New York for a celebration organized by Darwish, her obstinate grandfather. Each guest’s journey to this fated gathering takes on an unexpected significance, as they find themselves revisiting the choices they have made in life, and rethinking their relationships with one another and the country in which they live.
Traveling seamlessly between Egypt and the United States, Embrace on Brooklyn Bridge is a story about how we construct and shift our identities, and about a family’s search for home.
REVIEWS
“Embrace on Brooklyn Bridge is a remarkable novel for its style, its plot, and its reach into the experience of straddling two worlds and two states of being.”
“Taking his literary career to new heights . . . Fishere’s characters defy expectations.”
“A deeper view of the world of Arabs abroad . . . [Brooklyn] represents the symbol of Arab immigrants without carrying their usual stereotypical qualities … Fishere offers no simple solutions to his characters and doesn’t try to preach in one way or another, but rather to flash a light on a different dimension and let his heroes do the talking.”
