New work! I profiled the genre jumping, playlist fixture Pakistani musician Natasha Noorani; this is a piece about ambition and archives, an innate sense of what it is to burn, be burned, and to make music about it all. For Dunya Digital: dunyadigital.co/blog/the-irr...

delighted to have contributed a true gem of a book from Pakistan for this!
We asked ten of our favourite writers and cookbook experts, from Anissa Helou to Rachel Roddy, to recommend a cookbook that has not been translated or published in the UK. The result is this odd, singular and brilliant compilation of beloved cookbooks!

FEBRUARY 25, 2025 -- Ibtisam Azem's Book of Disappearance, translated by Sinan Antoon has made the thirteen-book longlist for the 2025 International Booker. Azem's Book of Disappearance was published in Antoon's translation by Syracuse University Press in 2018 and happily got a second life when it came out from UK publisher And Other Stories in 2024. Azem's novel centers on the sudden disappearance of all Palestinians living across historic Palestine, both in occupied territories and Israel.
