MAKING PEACE WITH THE MUSLIMS includes some of the best contemporary short stories I've read. It reminds me of INTERPRETER OF MALADIES, which won the Pulitzer Prize. It has that flavor of Americans and foreigners trying to understand each other. Each story is also very literary, with many layers. I especially liked The Blind Woman, a story about an American hospice nurse who walks right into African-Muslim culture and is shocked and her life is changed. I've just finished reading all seven stories and I'm going to wait a few weeks and read them again. I give this book five stars.

This book of short stories is really marvelous. Each story speaks to the heart and soul of America. I especially liked the title story, which takes place in Jerusalem and Ramallah. In these times, stories about Americans trying to understand the Muslim world are bound to be powerful, but this book of stories is very compelling. I hope it gets the literary attention it deserves. Bravo David Gabriel!
