What does it mean to be a writer of Muslim heritage in the UK
today? Is there such a thing as "Muslim fiction"? In a collection
of revealing new interviews, Claire Chambers talks to writers
including Tariq Ali, Ahdaf Soueif, Hanif Kureishi, and Abdulrazak
Gurnah to discuss the impact that their Muslim heritage has had on
their writing, and to argue that this body of writing is some of
the most important and politically engaged fiction of recent years.
From literary techniques and influences to the political and
cultural debates that matter to Muslims in Britain and beyond --
such as the hijab, the war on terror and the Rushdie affair --
these thirteen interviews challenge the idea of a monolithic voice
for Islam in Britain. Instead, together they paint a picture of the
diversity of voices creating "British Muslim fictions" which
ultimately enriches the cultural, social and political landscape of
contemporary Britain.
