Meet Our Readers: Sahar Mustafah

Sahar Mustafah is author of Code of the West, an award-winning short story collection. Her stories have earned a Distinguished Story citation from Best American Short Stories 2016 and two Pushcart Prize nominations, among other honors. She has served with Voices of Protest, an artist collaboration begun by Chicago's Guild Literary Complex, which seeks to promote the work of exiled writers and artists worldwide through the International Cities of Refuge Network. The daughter of Palestinian immigrants, Mustafah is drawn to stories of the silenced and invisible. She has taught wonderfully misunderstood teenagers in Illinois for over twenty years and is co-founder of Bird's Thumb, an online literary magazine.
