| Summary: | "Speaking in Tongues is a very honest autobiography of a celebrated scholar. Fedwa Malti-Douglas chronicles her life and her struggles from her birth to the present day. Fedwa carries us on a journey that crosses landscapes of sadness, of happiness, of pain and peace, of alienation and acceptance, toward a healing enlargement of the soul. The book is a deeply moving account of her painful but heroic journey from a Christian childhood in a Lebanese village (where her father was a physician and her mother had deserted the family), to teen-age life in Ithaca, New York, where her Cornell professor uncle regularly beat both her and her brother, to a brilliant university career in Middle Eastern Studies, made difficult by the onset of an hereditary muscular dystrophy that Fedwa Malti and her historian husband Alan Douglas have battled with extraordinary bravery. The narrative shows that through all of her hardships, Fedwa retained her sense of humor and optimism, and her love of nature and art"...Publisher description |

Raised in a Lebanese mountain
village, Fedwa Malti-Douglas came
to America at the age of 13. After
a rich academic career, Professor
Malti-Douglas turned her attention
to other muses, publishing a novel
(Hisland, SUNY Press) in 1998,
and poetry (including a chapbook
of visual poetry). Fedwa’s honors
include the 1997 Kuwait Prize in
Arts and Letters, and the National
Humanities Medal for 2014,
presented in 2015 by President
Barack Obama.
Speaking in Tongues tells the
story of a family torn apart by
divorce, death, and exile, and
reunited by an inherited form of
muscular dystrophy.
