The Last Gundir
“The past is a palimpsest. And Nayef Din’s lush and painstaking recounting of it strips back time to an intricate, initial canvas…
This story is a poignant reminder that every day we pass over and through this invisible past. We should step cautiously, for we tread continually upon lost dreams.”
Raymond Evans, Historian and Poet
Wrong Side
“…We can observe all that compellingly displayed in this evocative volume, Wrong Side. For here the past is humanised rather than sanitised. It is layered and subtle rather than flatly or insipidly one-dimensional. The experience of reading this book represents a whole world renewed, rather than yet another tired recycling of the dry residue of dubious documentary fragments.”
