Die abwechselnd in Ägypten und den USA spielenden Kurzgeschichten von Randa Jarrar sind lustig, ironisch, klassenbewusst und schaffen ein facettenreiches Bild zeitgenössischer arabischer weiblicher Identitäten. Ein must read! ap
Klappentext:Award-winning novelist Randa Jarrar's new story collection moves seamlessly between realism and fable, history and the present, capturing the lives of Muslim women and men across myriad geographies and circumstances. With acerbic wit, deep tenderness, and boundless imagination, Jarrar brings to life a memorable cast of characters, many of them "accidental transients" – a term for migratory birds who have gone astray – seeking their circuitous routes back home. Fierce and feeling, Him, Me, Muhammad Ali is a testament to survival in the face of love, loss, and displacement.
