Reviews
“A love letter to us: the outcasts, the hyphenated “others,” those who have lost tongues and gained dialects. Zahia Rahmani speaks to the religious fairy tales of my girlhood, the Muslim lore we listened to while learning the Arabic alphabet. ‘Muslim’ challenges the borders of genre, much like Rahmani pushes up against the boundaries of multiple, overlapping identities, investigating imposed definitions and complicating what it means to be colonized, woman, Muslim.” — Dr. Seema Yasmin , author, For Filthy Women Who Worry About Disappointing God & The Impatient Dr. Lange: One Man’s Fight to End the Global HIV Epidemic “‘I was born into a minor language and escaped from a distant nowhere that didn’t want me,’ Zahia Rahmani writes in this chronicle of the numerous forms isolation can take–and the numerous ways that identity can be both claimed and projected onto someone. This novel is brief in length, but Rahmani’s approach to it allows for a constant mutability of its form and a series of limitless stylistic renewals.” Tobias Carroll, Words Without Borders, “A love letter to us: the outcasts, the hyphenated “others,” those who have lost tongues and gained dialects.
