Reviews

How does it feel to be an alien at home? . . . Sardonic, monstrous, tender, these well-crafted tales show us circumstances that might be our own, and let us see them through the eyes of others.
Dima Alzayat’s startling, often shocking stories have at their heart a profound sense of dislocation . . . Brilliant.
Alligator contains several stories of breathtaking power . . . Start reading now and you can say you were an early fan, because Dima Alzayat combines superb writing with razor-sharp imagination and focuses on social injustice, racial violence, and global immigration.
Reflective, nostalgic, griefstricken, harrowing. Alzayat's work circles power and politics, but at its centre are people: their relationships, their pasts, their homes.
