World Literature with Anderson Tepper: Pulitzer Winner Hisham Matar

Booker-nominated & Pulitzer winner Hisham Matar shares his brand new novel, My Friends, in City of Asylum debut.

“My Friends, the new novel by Hisham Matar, is truly a miracle—a one-of-a-kind book about friendship in a foreign land, revolution, and memory. It is about how the passage of time is experienced privately, especially when cut off from family and home, and it is a work that is so exquisitely written that reading it will defy time itself. Like me, I’m sure you will want to savor every page and passage, staving off the end for as long as possible. Hisham Matar is a writer of major international significance; it will be an honor to welcome him to Pittsburgh.” —Anderson Topper
