A review by jwinchell
Hollow Fires by Samira Ahmed

5.0

Samira Ahmed writes superbly of Islamophobia and right wing online radicalization and speaking truth to power. Jawad’s narrative voice was haunting and intimately sad. Safiya’s voice was assured and strong. I saw the twist coming but it was so much more intense than I realized it would be. The narrative voices of alt right extremists, interviews, news stories, and more rounded out the complexity of the issues. A charged reflection of the state of this country. A must read.
