The Longreads Questionnaire, Featuring Aymann Ismail

The Slate writer and Becoming Baba author reflects on Newark and mosques as home, making sense of Egypt on long flights, and becoming a father.

Q: What’s your most reliable way to get creatively unstuck?

A: Go report. Talk to an actual person. Reality has a useful habit of ruining your elegant but incorrect idea and replacing it with a messier, better one.

Spend some time with Slate senior staff writer Aymann Ismail, author of Becoming Baba: Fatherhood, Faith, and Finding Meaning in America, in this week’s new Longreads Questionnaire.

I grew attached to these journalists who risk their lives everyday to show us the truth. This is Plestia, a journalist in gaza. This is what she said in her last video after the blackout on gaza.

Plestia's name is special. It comes from the first group of people who lived in the land of Palestine who came from the Aegean sea. They were known as the plestia tribes who lived there for 5-6 centuries. The name "plestia or flestia" later led to the name Palestine, the country we know now.

Here's her account.
