The Bamboo Stalk by Saud Alsanousi
Set against the backdrop of cultural and social tensions, this poignant narrative follows the life of José, a young man of mixed Filipino-Kuwaiti heritage, as he navigates his identity and belonging. Born to a Filipino mother and a Kuwaiti father, José is caught between two worlds, each with its own expectations and prejudices. As he journeys from the Philippines to Kuwait, he grapples with the complexities of family, tradition, and the search for a place to call home. Through his eyes, the story explores themes of cultural identity, acceptance, and the universal quest for self-discovery.
