I don’t know what to tell you except to read like your fucking life depends on it. Not only the dreadful news, but also poetry, and fiction, and the wisdom of those who’ve fought their own battles and who have long been dust and ash, returned to the earth or the sea or the sky. Reading may not save your life. But it may save your sanity and your spirit. Saratonin is a reader-supported publication.

While attending the University of Oklahoma in 1956 – 57, I met a Palestinian petroleum engineering student named Said Abu-Lughod. Said, whose older brother Ibrahim Abu-Lughod would become a renowned professor at Northwestern University, told me how Israeli settlers had violently forced his family out of their ancestral home in Jaffa during the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948. This had happened only eight years earlier, when Said was 12 years old. His family fled as refugees to Jordan.
