Sayed Kashua is a talented and ambitious writer with a top-rated television sitcom, a satirical column in Israel’s oldest newspaper Haaretz, and multiple award-winning novels to his credit. But as an Arab citizen of Israel, Kashua is persistently called upon to justify his work, specifically his decision to address Jewish audiences by writing in Hebrew.
