Download or read book No Space for Further Burials written by Feryal Ali Gauhar and published by Akashic Books. This book was released on 2010-08-17 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A brutal and “fascinating” novel of an American held captive in an asylum in Afghanistan (Stewart O’Nan). Set in Afghanistan in 2002, No Space for Further Burials is a chilling indictment of the madness of war and our collective complicity in the perpetuation of violence. The novel’s narrator, a US Army medical technician in Afghanistan helping to “liberate” the country from the Taliban, has been captured by rebels and thrown into an asylum. The other inmates are a besieged gathering of society’s forgotten and unwanted refugees and derelicts, disabled and different, resilient and maddened, struggling to survive the lunacy raging outside the asylum compound. The novel becomes a powerful evocation of the country’s desolate history of plunder and war, waged by insiders and outsiders, all fueled by ideology, desperation, and greed. This astonishingly powerful story unfolds the tragedy of Afghanistan, as told by the captive narrator in hauntingly beautiful prose. While the characters try to cope with their individual destinies, the terrible madness of war is counterpointed with the poignancy of their lives and the narrator’s own peculiar predicament—the “victor” now a victim, his ambivalence a metaphor for everything Afghanistan symbolizes. “A novel of unrelenting truth held in transcendent prose and an exquisite grace. There is no easy redemption here, but there is light and more light.” —Chris Abani, author of GraceLand and Song for Night “In writing through the eyes of an American captive in Afghanistan, Feryal Ali Gauhar has fashioned a fascinating two-way mirror in which we see the author creating an Other confronting Otherness. As in Richard Powers’ hostage novel Ploughing in the Dark, the mask of character reveals as much as it conceals.” —Stewart O’Nan, author of Songs for the Missing “An unbearably beautiful book, one you will not soon forget . . . What Gauhar shows us is that in a war there are only those who die and those who survive, and sometimes even those lines get blurred. And that’s what keeps you hungrily turning the pages.” —Radhika Jha, author of Smell

Book excerpt: "A Tulip in the Desert is the story of Amina, a nine year old girl from a small village in the Waziristan region of northern Pakistan who lives in an extended family system. Amina narrates the next ten years of her tremulous life, opening a window into the enigmatic society of ultra-conservative Waziristan. Life there is particularly harsh for girls as they are kept fully guarded by their male relatives. As if life isn't harsh enough for her, she dares to pursue a passion that women in that "medieval society" are forbidden to even dream of. A new twist comes with the start of the American-Afghan war. Thousands of Afghani Taliban flood her village as refugees but soon start imposing their versions of Islamic laws and morality. Like many of their fellow villagers, Amina's family faces Taliban vengeance at one front and American drone bombing at the other. She describes how these events seal the fate of each member of her extended family and how they impact her in pursuit for her forbidden passion" --
