Gulf

A compulsively bold, literary debut following the lives of five women living in and around the Arabian Gulf; revealing, devastating, and teeming with life, it explores the true meaning of the belief that 'hope is rebellion'.

Mo Ogrodnik is a filmmaker, writer, and professor in the film department at NYU. She served as the associate dean of the arts for NYU in Abu Dhabi and as a mentor for the Sundance Labs in Jordan. Gulf is her first novel.
