{"product_id":"one-story-thirty-stories-zohra-saed-9781557289452","title":"One Story, Thirty Stories: An Anthology of Contemporary Afghan American Literature","description":"Since 9\/11 there has been a cultural and political blossoming among those of the Afghan diaspora, especially in the United States, revealing a vibrant, active, and intellectual Afghan American community. And the success of Khaled Hosseni's \u003ci\u003eThe Kite Runner\u003c\/i\u003e, the first work of fiction written by an Afghan American to become a bestseller, has created interest in the works of other Afghan American writers. \u003ci\u003eOne Story, Thirty Stories\u003c\/i\u003e (or \"Afsanah, Seesaneh,\" the Afghan equivalent of \"once upon a time\") collects poetry, fiction, essays, and selections from two blogs from thirty-three men and women--poets, fiction writers, journalists, filmmakers and video artists, photographers, community leaders and organizers, and diplomats. Some are veteran writers, such as Tamim Ansary and Donia Gobar, but others are novices and still learning how to craft their own \"story,\" their unique Afghan American voice. The fifty pieces in this rich anthology reveal journeys in a new land and culture. They show people trying to come to grips with a life in exile, or they trace the migration maps of parents. They navigate the jagged landscape of the Soviet invasion, the civil war of the 1990s and the rise of the Taliban, and the ongoing American occupation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Zohra Saed\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 155728945X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781557289452\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Arkansas Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 290\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.90d","brand":"Zohra Saed","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44043355783423,"sku":"9781557289452","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0eaae70e-44d2-4a53-9a76-5ef93de04efe.jpg?v=1684966681","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/one-story-thirty-stories-zohra-saed-9781557289452","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
