Bøker av Ahdaf Soueif

The story of the revolution and a personal journey into the city of Ahdaf Soueif's childhood

On October 7th 2001, US-led forces invaded Afghanistan. Bringing together some of the contemporary writers, this anthology, from reportage and "faction" to fiction, explores the impact of this "long war" throughout the world, from Palestine to Iraq, Abu Ghraib, the curtailment of civil liberties and manipulation of public opinion.

Features selected stories from the author's collections "Aisha" and "Sandpiper". They explore areas of tension - where women and men are ensnared by cultural and social mores and prescribed notions of 'love', where the place you are is not the place you want to be.

Collected essays and journalism from one of our foremost writers: from cultural commentary to the war in Iraq
