I Am the Beggar of the World: Landays from Contemporary Afghanistan by Eliza Griswold

5.0

Griswold's work is an indispensable collection that is both lyrical and laden with complex themes of abandonment, ecstasy, violence and occupation. I suggest reading this rather short and powerful collection and recommend it to your friends. No background is needed since each set of landays is given some context.
