An exquisite debut collection on writing, exile, and rebuilding community after losing your homeland.

In elegantly written and meticulously observed essays including Afghanistan, the Beautiful Land of Endless Suffering, The Blood of Things, and Small Memories, Jamaluddin Aram examines the complexities of his place of birth and the demands of forging a career in writing. He explores themes such as displacement, ethnic discrimination, and exile, balanced by the lightness of memory, friendship, and hope. In prose that is at once highly political and deeply personal, Aram writes about the terrible responsibility of war, the fall of Kabul, and an account that connects his great-grandfather to the medieval Order of Assassins, and subverts entrenched portrayals of his people in popular culture, among other subjects, in a collection that is both sweeping and intimate, immersive and provocative, and which fully reveals his talent as an exciting new voice in nonfiction.
