BURN AFTER READING

By Leo Hamalian

Burn After Reading is a collection of informative essays about Middle Eastern culture and attitudes and what they meant to an American professor of Armenian descent who spent three years as a Fulbright lecturer in Syria and Iran. Both light and serious, these essays cover a variety of subjects, ranging from the Palestine question to the role of women in Arab life, and includes a major study of the image of the Armenian in contemporary fiction. This book is informed by the author's affection to his own people and their neighbors.
