Denne uka har jeg sittet i Oslo Tingrett og lyttet. Endelig kunne søstrene jeg begynte å skrive om for ti år siden fortelle sin egen historie. – Jeg husker et ord som gikk igjen blant dem som snakket om kvinnen i vitneboksen: stolt.: klassekampen.no/artikkel/2024-…

Interview with Åsne Seierstad about her book The Afghans. Discusses what the lives of human rights activist Jamila, Taliban commander Bashir, and thwarted student Ariana tell us about Afghanistan. @spectator @questingvole @AsneSeierstad thepodcastbrowser.com/asne-seierstad…


Spectator Books Podcast on my book "The Afghans" coming out later today. Stay tuned! Thank you for engaging questions and perspectives! riverside.fm/shared/snapsho… #RiversideFM


My book "The Afghans" is just out in the UK. Amanpour at CNN invited me to talk about it, the hardship Afghan Women live through, and how the Taliban rule as ancient despots in modern time. Check out the interview here: cnn.com/2024/06/03/tv/…

My review of two books examining what went wrong in Afghanistan: Kabul, Final Call by @laurie_bristow & The Afghans by @AsneSeierstad Bristow - "a quietly heroic figure" -was UK ambassador in summer 2021 as Kabul fell to the Taliban. Both titles excellent theguardian.com/books/article/…


So cool, to stand back to back with @Elif_Safak and @juliet_riddell´s Democracy including the amazing @LYpil1418 at Hay!

Our books looking good together!

Always fascinating to follow the adventures and writings of the great, embedded, empathic, feminist journalist @AsneSeierstad --in Afghanistan and beyond. Check out her newest book: theguardian.com/books/article/…


My new book is out. Few traces are left of the West's commitment to the Afghans, it's a winners take all - told through Bashir - the Taliban commander, @JamilaAfghani - the minister turned activist and Ariana - the student who lost it all. Hope to see you at the Conduit!

I love the Brazilian cover of my book! After the Taliban takeover I went to explore. Few traces are left of the promises to the Afghans, it's a winners take all - told through the story of Bashir - the Taliban commander, @JamilaAfghani - the activist and Ariana - who lost it all.

In her thought-provoking new book, @AsneSeierstad introduces us to three people whose lives have been shaped by the fall and rise of the Taliban – Jamila, Bashir and Ariana – as well their families, friends, foes and co-fighters. Out in hardback in May: virago.co.uk/titles/%c3%a5s…
