In 2003, Osama al-Kharrat returns to Beirut after many years in America to stand vigil at his father's deathbed. As the family gathers, stories begin to unfold: Osama's grandfather was a hakawati, or storyteller, and his bewitching tales are interwoven with classic stories of the Middle East. Here are Abraham and Isaac; Ishmael, father of the Arab tribes; the beautiful Fatima; Baybars, the slave prince who vanquished the Crusaders; and a host of mischievous imps. Through Osama, we also enter the world of the contemporary Lebanese men and women whose stories tell a larger, heartbreaking tale of seemingly endless war, conflicted identity, and survival. With The Hakawati, Rabih Alameddine has given us an Arabian Nights for this century.Binding Type: Paperback

Consistent quality
Size: 500 Count (Pack of 1)
This is the first time I’ve ordered this online and it is exactly what we have been using for years. We always use a plastic support and the plates themselves are flimsy. Good value. And easy to use. But I wouldn’t trust it to NOT leak.

Great non-toxic option for big families!
Size: 500 Count (Pack of 1)
I purchased these several times. We have a big family and paper plates are just part of our norm right now. I was looking for something that doesn't have forever chemicals lining the plates. These are perfect. You can't carry around the plate. These are for putting on the table and putting food on them :) But that's what we needed them for !

Good to cover food and create with
Size: 100 Count (Pack of 1)
Not strong enough to carry food on, but good enough to cover small bowl in microwave to prevent splatters, small enough for toddlers to create with.

Great Quality for the Price

Love these paper plates. They’re sturdy, microwave-safe, and hold up well without getting soggy or folding easily. Great for everyday use and cleanup is super convenient. Good value for the price and reliable for meals and snacks.
