For today's gift book rec, I'm choosing one of the most devastating, beautiful, nuanced, gorgeous, tragic, incendiary, and, yes, hopeful books of the year: ONE DAY, EVERYONE WILL HAVE ALWAYS BEEN AGAINST THIS, by OMAR EL AKKAD. Deservedly won the National Book Award. Summary in alt text. 7/?
![Red cover with the silhouette of a child with a missile falling from above with title ONE DAY, EVERYONE WILL ALWYS HAVE BEEN AGAINST THIS, author Omar El Akkad "Author of American War"
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • NATIONAL BOOK AWARD WINNER • A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK • PALESTINE BOOK AWARD WINNER • From award-winning novelist and journalist Omar El Akkad comes a powerful reckoning with what it means to live in a West that betrays its fundamental values.
"[A] bracing memoir and manifesto." —The New York Times
"I can’t think of a more important piece of writing to read right now. I found hope here, and help, to face what the world is now, all that it isn’t anymore. Please read this. I promise you won’t regret it." —Tommy Orange, bestselling author of Wandering Stars and There There
On October 25, 2023, after just three weeks of the bombardment of Gaza, Omar El Akkad put out a tweet: “One day, when it’s safe, when there’s no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it’s too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this.” This tweet has been viewed more than 10 million times.
As an immigrant who came to the West, El Akkad believed that it promised freedom. A place of justice for all. But in the past twenty years, reporting on the War on Terror, Ferguson, climate change, Black Lives Matter protests, and more, and watching the unmitigated slaughter in Gaza, El Akkad has come to the conclusion that much of what the West promises is a lie. That there will always be entire groups of human beings it has never intended to treat as fully human—not just Arabs or Muslims or immigrants, but whoever falls outside the boundaries of privilege. One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This is a chronicle of that painful realization, a moral grappling with what it means, as a citizen of the U.S., as a father, to carve out some sense of possibility in a time of carnage.
This is El Akkad’s nonfiction debut, his most raw and vul…](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:jvhw6v6rt4motcndq4gh5qo7/bafkreieuaku7fvqyktelutykflyzanjmna6j3oiiqfkdxvgebund6pdz2e@jpeg)

Old art: Some designs for ONE-STAR SQUADRON, the DC series I did with @manruss.bsky.social a few years back. I included a pet with each of them as a way to quickly sum up my understanding of who they are in the story.

This is one of those things that I think is quietly important – when these people are talking shit about cities, Portland or Minneapolis or New York or Charlotte or wherever, you have to loudly say, “no, fuck you, you’re lying, that town and its people whip ass and you’re the asshole”
“I walk around Portland, and I go, ‘Fuck you, assholes. Portland is fine.’” - John Darnielle, @themountaingoats.bsky.social. We're proud to claim you as a Portlander, sir.
