Navid Kermani is one of the outstanding public intellectuals of his
generation. Not one for drawing hard and fast conclusions, his
style of thought is probing, observant, often straying from
well-trodden paths and always peering beyond the present moment to
trace connections and grasp the bigger picture. Well known for his
prize-winning novels and major works of nonfiction, Kermani has
also written for newspapers and magazines ever since he started
working at the local desk of a newspaper at the age of 15.Â
Reporting from war zones and crisis hot spots, he gained widespread
acclaim as a journalist, displaying a rare political sensitivity
which manages to illuminate what politicians fail to see and to
seek out solutions where all appears hopeless. This volume brings
together his brilliantly perceptive writing from the last thirty
years, on topics ranging from terror in the Middle East to crisis
in Europe and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. As a record of
Kermani’s uniquely compassionate curiosity, this absorbing book
is an antidote to the spectre of confusion and despair that stalks
global politics today.
