After a rich academic career, Prof. Malti-Douglas turned her attention to other muses, publishing a novel in 1998, and poetry (incl. a chapbook of visual poetry). Fedwa's honors include the 1997 Kuwait Prize in Arts \u0026amp; Letters, \u0026amp; the Nat. Humanities Medal for 2014, presented by Pres. Barack Obama. This volume tells the story of a family torn apart by divorce, death, and exile, \u0026amp; reunited by an inherited form of muscular dystrophy. It has been praised as \"a memoir of unpitying clarity,\" \"deeply moving \u0026amp; arresting,\" which \"crosses landscapes of sadness, of happiness, of pain \u0026amp; peace, of alienation \u0026amp; acceptance, toward a healing enlargement of the soul.\" Color photos.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Fedwa Malti-Douglas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1606180649\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781606180648\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e American Philosophical Society Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 245\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.63d","brand":"Fedwa Malti-Douglas","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48439821566207,"sku":"9781606180648","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1015f8c4-ced6-4206-940b-aef346ae4225.jpg?v=1777179426","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/speaking-in-tongues-fedwa-malti-douglas-9781606180648","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
