This month, we present work by international writers living in the US and writing in languages other than English.

Leihuo bellowed with rage and hurried toward Uncle Ji’s place. He had just been arguing with Dad and Mama. Dad resented his hanging out at the marsh so much of the time and being so close to someone like Uncle Ji. The way Dad saw it, Uncle Ji didn’t even count as a person; he was not a fully formed thing. If Leihuo spent too much time with him, he would never amount to anything. His vision would turn blurry.

As the plane landed in Srinagar, my fellow passengers craned their necks to see the snow-clad mountains that wrapped around the city. I sat still, contemplating and planning the next few days of my trip. I was coming back to my ancestral home and the city of my birth after forty-eight years, but not as a tourist.

[For Gaza’s children] My father’s warm palms shielded my ears. I could hear his blood racing in his veins. As if being chased by the bombs falling outside. My mother’s lips fluttered like a terrified butterfly. She was talking to God and asking him to protect us. That’s what she did during the last war. And he listened. Her arms were clasped around my two sisters. Maybe God could not hear her this time. The bombing was so loud. After our house in Jabalia was destroyed we hid in the UNRWA school.

Yes, it is a lot to live with—Being born an Aries sun with a Scorpio moon. Lady Gaga, Henry James, and I have this in common. (Go on and be a gay icon, the stars divined.)A Scorpio novelist friend of mine said she’s never been interested in celebrities,Whereas I’ve spent my whole life being a fan. Even when I’m not a fan, I still rubberneck. Celebrity is like that, I guess. Star power. The “it” factor. Rizz. Some people are compelling.
