About
In his deeply personal book of essays, The Blood of Things: A Love Letter to Afghanistan, Jamaluddin Aram reflects on Afghanistan and his own displacement and exile, weaving family history, memories of Kabul, friendship and hope into an intimate portrait of a homeland transformed by war. In Raoul de Jong’s Jaguarman, de Jong travels into the Surinamese jungle in search of a mysterious ancestor said to have transformed into a jaguar, embarking on a quest to understand his heritage, and himself. Both authors’ stories encapsulate the profound value in understanding ancestral roots, and how writing can reclaim the past, reshape the present and reimagine the future.
