I love the Brazilian cover of my book! After the Taliban takeover I went to explore. Few traces are left of the promises to the Afghans, it's a winners take all - told through the story of Bashir - the Taliban commander, Jamila Afghani - the activist and Ariana - who lost it all.

My new book is out. Few traces are left of the West's commitment to the Afghans, it's a winners take all - told through Bashir - the Taliban commander, Jamila Afghani - the minister turned activist and Ariana - the student who lost it all. Hope to see you at the Conduit!

Always fascinating to follow the adventures and writings of the great, embedded, empathic, feminist journalist Åsne Seierstad --in Afghanistan and beyond. Check out her newest book: theguardian.com/books/article/…

This is the man I got to know: “If you destroy my bookstore a hundred times I will rebuild it.” theguardian.com/world/2024/apr…

"Seierstad’s ambition as a writer is always to bring the individual fully to life, giving a human truth to war, in the tradition of Martha Gellhorn or Svetlana Alexievich." theguardian.com/books/article/…

So cool, to stand back to back with Elif Shafak and Juliet Riddell´s Democracy including the amazing LeaYGG at Hay!

My review of two books examining what went wrong in Afghanistan: Kabul, Final Call by Laurie Bristow & The Afghans by Åsne Seierstad. Bristow - "a quietly heroic figure" -was UK ambassador in summer 2021 as Kabul fell to the Taliban. Both titles excellent theguardian.com/books/article/…

My book "The Afghans" is just out in the UK. Amanpour at CNN invited me to talk about it, the hardship Afghan Women live through, and how the Taliban rule as ancient despots in modern time. Check out the interview here: cnn.com/2024/06/03/tv/…

I needed this!

Denne uka har jeg sittet i Oslo Tingrett og lyttet. Endelig kunne søstrene jeg begynte å skrive om for ti år siden fortelle sin egen historie. – Jeg husker et ord som gikk igjen blant dem som snakket om kvinnen i vitneboksen: stolt.: klassekampen.no/artikkel/2024-…

Just finished "The Afghans" by brilliant Åsne Seierstad. Much touched by the chapter in which Ariana fends off her family’s pressure to marry—getting strength by listening to Kate Bush and watching Stranger Things. Keep running, Ariana! youtube.com/watch?v=bV0RAc…
