Second Person Singular (Hebrew: גוף שני יחיד, romanized: gof shani yehid) is a 2010 novel by the Palestinian writer Sayed Kashua.
Second Person Singular follows two Arab men, a successful criminal attorney and a social worker, whose fates meet in a curious way.
The lawyer has a flourishing office in West Jerusalem where he has two fellow Arabs jurists working for him: Tariq and Samaah.
In an effort to sustain his image as a sophisticated Israeli Arab, the lawyer visits a local bookstore every Thursday to buy novels that he read about in the literary supplement of his newspaper.
Inside he finds a small white note in Arabic in his wife's handwriting that looks like a love letter.
Amir had already taken up a second job, caring for a Jewish young man named Yonathan who is in a permanent vegetative state.
