Bagels Gave Me My Hollywood Ending

In our village (we call it the East Village), bagels are a food of the people. Rich or poor, you can afford one. Years ago, working late nights as a sound editor, I got into the habit of stopping at a bagel shop on my way home, buying one onion bagel with an unprofitable amount of cream cheese and one pumpernickel with nothing on it. After I climbed back to my fifth-floor walk-up, turned on the light, and shooed away the roaches, I’d split the c…Read Article

What the Shape of a Blessing Looks Like This Cambodian New Year

My mother tells me that on the first day of Khmer New Year, a Chnam Thmey Tevada (New Year’s Angel) descends from heaven to bestow blessings. Khmer people send their prayers and wishes to the angel and celebrate together to begin the year with hope and joy. Each year, I pray for the same blessings: prosperity, peace, and protection for my loved ones. There is no way to tell if the Tevada is listening. When Khmer New Year arrived last month, I wo…Cambodia · Cambodia Read Article

In Syria, the Caged Bird Raps

In Syria, the caged bird raps. On my first night imprisoned, I began to write: I am certain, after the long night there will be light.The jailer will collapse, and the prison will fall. That was 2012. Thirteen years later, my certainty arrived. The Al-Assad dynasty ruled Syria for 54 years, from 1970, when Hafez al-Assad orchestrated a coup d’état and cemented his dictatorship over what became known as the “kingdom of silence,” and through the r…Syria · Syria See the Story

Let's Rename This California Waterway in Honor of Trump

“It is not titles that honor men, but men that honor titles.”—Machiavelli The Tijuana River stinks. So, what could be more fitting than renaming it in honor of Donald Trump? Turning the sewage-filled Tijuana into the River Trump would be far more than commentary on a corrupt and lawless American dictator. It would be the best way for California and Mexico to win necessary attention for a critically endangered waterway. It also would swipe a page…California, United States · California Read Article

After My Brother's Death, Making Guisados of Our Grief

My brother David’s son, Justin, was planning a casual wedding reception with charcuterie and pizza. David and I joked about how shocking this would be to our mom and aunts, who were accustomed to traditional sit-down banquets. I had wondered how David would react, too: he was a meat-and-potatoes—or since he preferred Mexican to American food, plato fuerte—kind of guy. But when Justin and his fiancée Kassy hosted a tasting dinner last June, David…Los Angeles, California · Los Angeles Read Article

The Egyptian Diva Who Connected Me to My Ancestors

Do you know who your ancestors are? Do you know who you are? These questions have haunted me throughout my life. I was born in L.A. in the early ’80s, after my parents immigrated here from Egypt. My mother rarely spoke about her parents, who died when she was a young adult. My only living grandparent, my paternal grandfather, stayed in Egypt. He died when I was 8 years old. For those whose ancestral homeland is thousands of miles away, whose par…Cairo, Egypt · Cairo Read Article
