Congratulations to Mosab Abu Toha, WINNER of the PULITZER PRIZE, Commentary, as a contributor to The New Yorker ♥️
Palestinian poet Mosab Abu Toha has just won a Pulitzer Prize for his writing on Gaza. He says it's a bittersweet moment that he cannot fully celebrate due to the ongoing and intensifying Israeli genocide. "This honor has brought to me tears and joy," he says.
Visited the terrific City Lights Books in SFO again. Which other bookstore becomes a gathering place for readers, writers, artists, and activists, puts out calls to read all over, and has a 'Free Thinkers' section in the children's aisle?
