pamthenomadreview: the bookseller of kabul
Posted by pamela on Jun. 29, 09 | 0 COMMENTSTitle: The Bookseller of Kabul
Author: Asne Seierstad
Genre: creative nonfiction
Form: paperback
Recommended: definitely
Thoughts: In 2001, Asne Seierstad traveled Afghanistan during which she met a bookseller who seemed unique. Here she tells the story of the bookseller’s family, who she lived with for 6 months. Asne quickly pulls you into the story of this family that looks unique on the outside, but who’s reality is the norm. In so doing, you become lost in the often sad life and traditions, and are left feeling that you have just lived a piece of life in Afghanistan.Â
