Admiring Silence

Admiring Silence

Author(s): Abdulrazak Gurnah

Location(s): Zanzibar

Genre(s): Fiction

Era(s): Contemporary

The story of a man’s escape from his native Zanzibar to come to England to build a new life, and his subsequent return to his homeland, ADMIRING SILENCE is a potent blend of myths and crystalline reality, showing how the telling of stories can make alien surroundings familiar and how the fictions we create often reveal a purer truth.
