‘The world turned its back’: Nadia Hashimi on Afghanistan, resistance and City of Widows (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Nadia Hashimi’s new novel, City of Widows, opens in the precarious years before the 2021 Taliban takeover, back when Afghan women were still soldiers, journalists, and pursuing an array of professions. Hashimi evokes that bygone world to show us exactly what was lost. The book, a story of resistance, grips you by the cuff from the get-go, plunging the reader into a relentless sequence of unbearably tense moments that never loosen their hold. Its fascinating title comes from a real settlement on
Booker’s timid longlist for turbulent times (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The 2026 Booker Prize longlist is out, and it professes to be one that “rewards risk”. One might ask: What flavour of risk?

Read excerpt
Christopher Nolan has said that his $250 million epic, The Odyssey, was shaped by the opening line of Emily Wilson’s celebrated translation: “Tell me about a complicated man.” The director praised the “genius” and “inventiveness” of Homer’s hero, insisting that Odysseus was “not just a soldier” but “an amazing strategist, a very wily person.” Now, Wilson has seen the film, and she is not too impressed. In a searing 4,000-word review for the London Review of Books, “An Uncomplicated Man,” the cla
