Is there such a thing as 'Muslim fiction'? In a collection of revealing new interviews, Claire Chambers talks to writers including Tariq Ali, Ahdaf Soueif, Hanif Kureishi, and Abdulrazak Gurnah to discuss the impact that their Muslim heritage has had on their writing, and to argue that this body of writing is some of the most important and politically engaged fiction of recent years. From literary techniques and influences to the political and cultural debates that matter to Muslims in Britain and beyond - such as the hijab, the war on terror and the Rushdie affair - these thirteen interviews challenge the idea of a monolithic voice for Islam in Britain. Instead, together they paint a picture of the diversity of voices creating 'British Muslim fictions' which ultimately enriches the cultural, social and political landscape of contemporary Britain"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Muslim authors $v Interviews. 650 0 $a English fiction $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a English fiction $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Muslims in literature. 650 0 $a Islam in literature. 650 0 $a Muslim authors $x Political and social views. 650 0 $a Muslims $z Great Britain $x Ethnic identity. 650 0 $a Islam and literature $z Great Britain $x History $y 20th century. 700 1 $a Chambers, Claire, $d 1975- 941 $a 3 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20171221022429.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826065454.0 952 $l OIAX792 $d 20111119012023.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=562A0D74127C11E1BA0909E76AFF544EInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
