{"product_id":"is-this-how-you-eat-a-watermelon-9781737718420","title":"Is This How You Eat a Watermelon?","description":"A dozen boarding school students find themselves stranded at the beginning of the Lebanese Civil War. A young man, a young woman, and a mistreated monkey unite in a bid to survive. Even Israel's war on Lebanon cannot stop an old woman from getting her fix of nicotine. A young Lebanese student on a visit to Bahrain is wrongly implicated as a terrorist and placed in a prison with other political prisoners where light and hope is absconding. Fresh snow compels a sacrilegious undertaking from a father much to the shock of his children. Shared trauma takes the shape of phantom spectrals. And in the titular story, a hedonistic man eats himself to an early death with the desecration of the city of Beirut forming the backdrop. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIs This How You Eat a Watermelon? by Zein El-Amine invites readers into a world where love, war, and trauma collide with the desire to consume life--or be consumed by it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Radix Media\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/08\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781737718420\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200","brand":"Zein El-Amine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42370598731957,"sku":"9781737718420","price":16.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_321ded56-94d7-4c08-ab1c-76eabb2915ea.jpg?v=1663040772","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/is-this-how-you-eat-a-watermelon-9781737718420","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
