Points of View
The drama of conflict, chaos, and war come to Western readers in daily newspaper stories, but the news gives us scant details about how people live their lives in Islamabad, Fez, Cairo, or Tehran. Through “Points of View,” readers will encounter Muslim-majority societies through memoirs and novels representing a diverse geography and some of the best works in contemporary storytelling.
