No Space For Further Burials by Feryal Ali Gauhar
Set in Afghanistan in late 2002, No Space for Further Burials is a chilling indictment of the madness of war and the West's collective complicity in the perpetuation of violence. The novel's narrator, a US Army medical technician in Afghanistan helping 'liberate' the country from the Taliban, has been captured by rebels and thrown into an asylum. The novel becomes a powerful evocation of the country's desolate history of plunder and war, waged by insiders and outsiders, all fuelled by ideology, desperation and greed.
Feryal Ali Gauhar: Feryal Ali Gauhar studied political economy at McGill University, Montreal, and has worked as a filmmaker and broadcaster in Europe and the United States. Her work as a writer, director, and actor has focus on political marginalization, and she has been imprisoned by two military regimes in Pakistan for her prodemocracy activism. In 1999 she was appointed Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Population Fund. Currently she is engaged in doctoral research in Cultural Heritage and Conservation Management. She lives in Lahore, Pakistan with 14 cats, three dogs, a turtle, and four donkeys. No Space for Further Burials is her second novel.
