The Bookseller of Kabul by Åsne Seierstad

The Bookseller of Kabul by Åsne Seierstad

In 2002 a Norwegian journalist moved in with a Kabul bookseller and his family for four months. He had kept selling books through the Taliban years at considerable risk, burning what he had to and hiding the rest.

What Seierstad found inside the house complicated the story she went to write: a man who was liberal in public and absolute in private, a second wife taken at sixteen, and sisters whose lives were entirely at the disposal of men. The family later sued her, which is a fact the book is now always read alongside.

An international bestseller, and a genuinely contested piece of literary journalism.
