The Papercut

Any book by Hisham Matar has been on my TBR for a long, long time. I love all the books on this year’s reading list, but I was selfish and picked one for June (my birthday month) that I felt was as guaranteed a great read as possible. The theme of friendship in literature is one that I really love exploring. I have no doubt there will be a lot to relate to, based on the blurb which hints at discussions around friendship between young Arab students living in the UK, and how their friendships are affected by the politics of the time. What do you guys think of this pick as the first Hisham Matar novel to be read by our book club?

Guys it’s day 3 of eid, my brain doesn’t have enough firing synapses to come up with a good enough caption to do justice to this wonderful book. Let me save the brainpower for the 6th of April cos this book deserves a very substantial discussion! See you all there x
