Review Quotes:

'With all eyes on the Gulf, this timeless and brilliant presentation of itinerant novelist Abdalrahman Munif couldn't be more timely. The interviews with Munif, along with Maher Jarrar's accompanying background essays, offer a master class in the geo-politics of revolutionary knowledge and imagination'
Ammiel Alcalay, author of Imperial Abhorrences / For Palestine, with Kholoud Hammad

'A powerful tribute to one of the twentieth century's most important yet underappreciated novelists and public intellectuals. This book illuminates how Munif gave voice to a generation of Arab dreamers, exiles, and dissidents who challenged empire and tyranny, leaving behind a literary legacy whose moral and political urgency remains unmatched'
