Reviews

""Seeking the truth of the Kabul lie Fatima Mojaddedi surrounds herself with theorists, like any good anthropologist. But she does not let these men (Freud, Foucault, Benjamin) get in the way of her sisterly journey. Going in, I knew little about Afghanistan. Reading her book, however, I wished to be there, and indeed, learned I was born there.""--Rudolf Mrázek, author of, A Certain Age and Complete Lives of Camp People
