Author: Åsne Seierstad

Details: (c) Åsne Seierstad 2002; Pub Virago 2004; translated Ingrid Christophersen; ISBN 1-84408-047-1

Verdict: The bookseller of Kabul is an uneven piece of reportage.

Reasons for reading it: Everyone was making a big fuss about it when it came out, and the subject matter seemed interesting.

How it came into my hands: Brighton charity shops.

Soundbite

Miscellaneous. Eclectic. Random. Perhaps markedly literate, or at least suffering from the compulsion to read any text that presents itself, including cereal boxes.
