Author and Professor Pauline Kaldas Visits Class

The Arab American Literature class was honored to host Pauline Kaldas, who serves as Susan Gager Jackson Professor of Creative Writing at Hollins University. Pauline co-edited an amazing anthology of Arab American fiction, Dinarzad’s Children, which has been an amazing source of Arab American fiction for the class. Pauline discussed being Egyptian American, editing the anthology, and some of her own short story writing. In addition, she brought some homemade baklava! It was a thought provoking, and tasty day of literary analysis!
