{"product_id":"diriye-osman-fairytales-for-lost-children-9780956971944","title":"Fairytales for Lost Children","description":"FAIRYTALES FOR LOST CHILDREN is narrated by people constantly on the\n\u003cbr\u003e\nverge of self-revelation. These characters - young, gay and lesbian\n\u003cbr\u003e\nSomalis - must navigate the complexities of family, identity and the\n\u003cbr\u003e\nimmigrant experience as they tumble towards freedom. Set in Kenya,\n\u003cbr\u003e\nSomalia and South London, these stories are imbued with pathos,\n\u003cbr\u003e\npassion and linguistic playfulness, marking the arrival of a singular\n\u003cbr\u003e\nnew voice in contemporary fiction.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nPraise for FAIRYTALES FOR LOST CHILDREN:\n\u003cbr\u003e\n'Fantastic writing. I am most highly impressed. I've read some of the\n\u003cbr\u003e\nstories more than once and saw in each of them plenty of talent\n\u003cbr\u003e\neverywhere - in every sinew and vein.'\n\u003cbr\u003e\n- NURUDDIN FARAH\n\u003cbr\u003e\n'There is nothing more humbling than good writing except when the\n\u003cbr\u003e\nauthor is fiercely beautiful and ferociously generous of heart. That\n\u003cbr\u003e\nDiriye Osman should possess so much talent is only fair in light of\n\u003cbr\u003e\nhis goodness. Read this book.'\n\u003cbr\u003e\n- MESHELL NDEGEOCELLO\n\u003cbr\u003e\n-The characters in these fairy tales are displaced in multiple,\n\u003cbr\u003e\ncomplicated ways. But Osman's storytelling creates a shelter for them;\n\u003cbr\u003e\na warm place which is both real and imaginary, in which they find\n\u003cbr\u003e\npolitical, sexual, and ultimately psychic liberation.'\n\u003cbr\u003e\n- ALISON BECHDEL\n\u003cbr\u003e\n'East Africa. South London. Queer. Displaced. Mentally Ill. My\n\u003cbr\u003e\nexcitement over Osman and his writing comes, in part, out of delight\n\u003cbr\u003e\nat the impossibility of categorisation.'\n\u003cbr\u003e\n- ELLAH ALLFREY The Telegraph","brand":"angelica entertainment ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53671028359510,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/diriye-osman-fairytales-for-lost-children-9780956971944","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
