He blended lyrical prose with grounded realism perspectives and gives voice to often-silenced experiences within the Arab-American diaspora. Through interconnected narratives, Darraj humanises the complexity of identity, exile, family, and womanhood.

Reflection on "Behind You Is the Sea" by Susan Muaddi Darraj: a reading organised by the RLRH Book Club.

This novel is a compelling collection of short stories that explores the Palestinian-American experience within a close-knit Arab immigrant community in Baltimore. 1/🧵
