Episode Synopsis

Moving away from my more fantastical and romantic reads, I picked up The Cat Who Taught Me How to Fly by Hashem Gharaibeh this week. In this book about an Arab prison, our main character Imad struggles with the decision to renounce his allegiance to the Communist party and walk free or stay true to himself and stay in a Jordanian prison. My inner English major comes out as I ponder truth versus fact, try to define freedom, and question what the jasmine symbolizes.
