Recenzii
'Unimagined is beautifully written, funny and endearing, and in its own quiet way, important.' - Sue Townsend 'It deserves all the praise it's had - clearly & vividly written, it's funny and perceptive' - Philip Pullman 'Hurrah for a memoir that isn't miserable! Hurray for [his] terrific sense of humour ... an entertaining, moving and thoroughly thought-provoking tale of our times.' - Daily Mail 'Wonderfully evocative and strangely touching.' - The Sunday Times 'A compelling quest for belonging' - Guardian 'Forthright, wry, entirely enjoyable - A scrupulously well-intentioned look at how Christians and Muslims might live respectfully side by side.' Kirkus Reviews ' ... wonderfully funny, heart-warming, perceptive, enlightening and ironic ... His episodic story of coming to terms with the ways of the West is reminiscent of Adrian Mole, with echoes of White Teeth, but it has its own unique voice ... endearing, deadpan humour ... Likely to be a word-of-mouth hit ... has the makings of a slow-build bestseller ... ' Publishing News 'A fascinating insight ...' Sydney Morning Herald '... an amusing and highly accessible book which deals with a range of theological and cross-cultural issues ...' Canberra Times 'Occasionally, booksellers come upon a title which they believe is a defining moment in their trade.' Clive Keeble - Bookseller, Langport, Somerset 'I don't normally consider unsolicited approaches, but I just loved Unimagined so much!' Catherine Lockerbie - Director, Edinburgh International Book Festival 'It is also impossible not to enjoy and be moved by Imran's book; his whimsical self-deprecating style is the spoonful of sugar that belies the importance of his work and the wisdom which informs it.' - Wendy Were - Creative Director, Sydney Writers' Festival 'My team and I read Unimagined this weekend, and we all loved it. I learned more about Islam and the West from reading Unimagined, than I did from all the other books I've read, put together.' Juliet Rogers - CEO, Murdoch Books, Sydney
