Through interviews with leading writers (including Ahdaf Soueif and Hanif Kureishi), this book analyzes the writing and opinions of novelists of Muslim heritage based in the UK. Discussion centres on writers’ work, literary techniques, and influences, and on their views of such issues as the hijab, the war on terror and the Rushdie Affair.
