Recenzii
'A fresh, funny, provocative voice. Arbabzadah's candid memories and comments are a timely reminder that Afghanistan is a country, not merely a conflict.' - Jason Burke, author of On The Road to Kandahar: Travels Through Conflict in the Islamic World and The 9/11 Wars 'A wry and witty narrative that's authoritative, affectionate, and at moments wonderfully absurd. With an eye for detail, and a profound sense of place, Nushin Arbabzadah's essays bring us deep inside a remarkable culture defined by its honour and humour. Afghanistan's story is best told by Afghans who live with all its incongruity and still leave us agreeing it's a country like no other.' - Lyse Doucet, Chief International Correspondent, BBC 'Part memoir, part journalism and part storytelling, the book is a heady ride into the craziness that is Afghan life - [Arbabzadah's] deep affection for Afghanistan is as obvious as is her amusement about the absurdity of life there - For a look into an often misunderstood country from a woman who is both an outsider and an insider, Afghan Rumour Bazaar is a must read.' - Jyotsna Nambiar, PostNoon 'Nushin Arbabzadah's Afghanistan is a wonderful and terrible place, a land of heart-stopping beauty and unspeakable horrors - The book is chaotic, and wonderfully so. Its great strength as a national portrait is that the jumble of anecdote and analysis, with serious scholarship and pithy observation and trivial detail all thrown in together, feels three-dimensional and complete.' - Cordelia Jenkins, Mint 'Afghan Rumour Bazaar - takes the reader deep into the Afghan culture - The book offers an almost-irreverent, splendidly revealing take on Afghanistan.' - The Telegraph (Calcutta)
