«El llibreter de Kabul» is the nonfiction account by Norwegian journalist Åsne Seierstad, published by Edicions 62 in paperback and in Catalan.
After the fall of the Taliban regime, the journalist lives with a bookseller in Kabul and his family; with the eye of an outsider who can cross female and male spaces, she portrays forbidden loves, arranged marriages, crimes, punishments, and the silent rebellions of women.
Originally published as «Bokhandleren i Kabul» in 2002, it won the Norwegian Booksellers' Prize (Bokhandlerprisen) and has been translated into a dozen languages.
For readers of narrative journalism and nonfiction, with an interest in Afghanistan, books, and family life in war contexts.
Åsne Seierstad is a Norwegian freelance journalist and writer, best known for her accounts of everyday life in war zones – most notably Kabul after 2001, Baghdad in 2002 and the ruined Grozny in 2006.
