With Lebanon experiencing its deadliest day in nearly 20 years this month — not to mention the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine that has left more than 40,000 Palestinians dead — Marwan Kaabour says he has struggled with how to navigate the release of his debut book, “The Queer Arab Glossary,” especially when these issues hit close to home. “We find ourselves living in an incredibly dangerous and precarious world. It just felt worthless,” says Kaabour, who is from Beirut, Lebanon and lives in London. But the book, which Kaabour says highlights the historical and linguistic roots of the slang that different Arab dialects speak and relate to, “aims to be a record of information or knowledge that might die out,” he says.
