“Heibach’s astute and meticulous analysis of regime-opposition relations during the last two decades of Salih’s rule offers an especially interesting case to scholars studying cooperation and the complexities of opposition politics within autocratic settings.”
Teach Me How to Whisper reviewed in World Literature Today
“Teach Me How to Whisper’s arrangement is thematic rather than chronological. In its cross-section of orientations, contrasting styles support one another and speak to the reader differently—sometimes straightforwardly, sometimes in “hermetic metaphors” whose logic proves incisive upon careful reading. Each of Marinaj’s intersecting modes is compelling, whether revitalizing well-worn “horses” or riding transcendence amid shifts of modernity. Here, all poetics move the heart and mind.”
We Never Swim in the Same River Twice reviewed in The Modern Novel
