i deeply appreciated this book. that being said, i don't necessarily recommend it - because i feel like unless you are from the region or have put a lot of work into understanding it, you cannot get out of this book what i got out of it? many reviews describe it as impenetrable - and it is. ultimately however it's very clear that the impenetrability was the point, with even the final story being in untranslated pashto. this is not a book that caters to people

so yeah, loved the book, could not ask my friends who arent from the region to read it
