Sayed Kashua has been praised by the New York Times as "a master of subtle nuance in dealing with both Arab and Jewish society." An Israeli-Palestinian who lived in Jerusalem for most of his life, Kashua started writing in Hebrew with the hope of creating one story that both Palestinians and Israelis could relate to, rather than two that cannot coexist. He devoted his novels and his satirical weekly column published in Haaretz to exploring the contradictions of modern Israel while also capturing the nuances of family life in all its tenderness and chaos.

Over the last decade, Kashua's humorous essays have been among the most widely read columns in Israel. He writes about fatherhood and marriage, the Jewish-Arab conflict, encounters with prejudice, his professional ambitions, and his love of literature. With an intimate tone fueled by deep-seated apprehension and a razor-sharp ironic wit, he has documented his own life as well as that of society at large--from instructing his daughter on when it's appropriate to speak Arabic (everywhere, anytime, except at the entrance to a mall) to navigating security at Ben Gurion airport (in a Citroen that he'd bought especially for checkpoints: "God in heaven, who ever saw an Arab driving a Citroen?") to opening a Facebook account during the Arab Spring (so that he wouldn't miss the next revolution).

From these events of his everyday life, Kashua brings forth a series of brilliant, caustic, wry, and fearless reflections on social and cultural dynamics as experienced by someone who straddles two societies. Amusing and sincere, Native--a selection of his popular columns--is comprised of unrestrained, profoundly thoughtful personal dispatches.

Soft and Perfect for Small Pets
Size: 22''L x 13''W x 1.5''Th, Color: Blue
This little bed mat is super soft and cozy, and my cat took to it right away. The size is perfect for a crate or just laying around the house, and the star design is really cute. I like that it has an anti-slip bottom so it stays in place, and it’s easy to throw in the wash when it needs cleaning. It’s lightweight but still has enough cushion for small dogs or cats to nap comfortably. A great value for a simple, comfy pet bed.

Perfect Pad for My Pet Stroller
Size: 22''L x 13''W x 1.5''Th, Color: Grey
I bought a pet stroller that didn’t come with a pad, and I was worried I wouldn’t find one that fit. This bed turned out to be the perfect pad for the stroller! It fits just right and works well for that purpose. However, if you’re planning to use it as an actual bed, it is too thin on its own. Great as a pad, but not thick enough to be a standalone bed.

Kitty Loves It!
Size: 22''L x 13''W x 1.5''Th, Color: Pink
This kitty pad is so cute! I wanted a pad for my kitty's window seat, and this was the right size and I loved the color and stars. It worked great and my kitty loves the fluffiness and comfort. She lays on it every day in the sunshine. It did well in the wash, too.

Soft fleecy fabric but mat is thin
Size: 30''L x 19''W x 1.5''Th, Color: Grey
Got this for a cat who likes to sit on a chair and sheds everywhere - she loves it, and it covers the whole seat of the chair. Fabric is soft and cozy, but the mat is pretty thin and wouldn’t add a lot of comfort to a hard floor or crate
