Yasmin Zaher & Sheena Patel: The Coin
London Review Bookshop
14 Bury Pl London WC1A 2JL United KingdomPalestinian writer and journalist Yasmin Zaher’s debut novel The Coin (Footnote Press) has been hailed as ‘already a masterpiece’ (Slavoj Žižek), ‘a filthy, elegant book’ (Raven Leilani) and ‘bonkers’ (Elif Batuman). A young Palestinian woman, wealthy but stateless and with no access to her wealth, finds her life and sense of self unravelling as she teaches underprivileged children at a New York middle school, gets involved in a money-making scheme selling Birkin bags and becomes unhealthily obsessed with health and cleanliness. Zaher will be reading from her novel, and talking about it with poet and novelist Sheena Patel (I'm a Fan).
