DESCRIPTION:Please join Revolution Books in welcoming Nuruddin Farah,author of "Knots" 
 and  "From a Crooked Rib" in a discussion of his works.\nAs he so aptly 
 puts it :"My novels are about states of exile; about women shivering in the 
 cruel cold in a world ruled by men; about the commoner denied justice; 
 about a torturer tortured by guilt, his own conscience; about a traitor 
 betrayed.” from the essay In Praise of Exile\n\nNuruddin Farah’s books 
 center on women characters straining against tradition’s chains. He 
 weaves the history of colonial and post-colonial Somalia into his work, and 
 leaves the reader with new flavors and glimpses of that culture. He is one 
 of the major African authors writing today and a leading figure on the 
 world literary scene. He is the author of ten novels, including From a 
 Crooked Rib and the acclaimed trilogies Variations on the Theme of an 
 African Dictatorship (Sweet and Sour Milk, Sardines, Close Sesame) and 
 Blood on the Sun (Maps, Gifts, Secrets). Two volumes (Links, Knots) of a 
 third trilogy have appeared, with the final volume forthcoming soon. His 
 novels have been translated into seventeen languages and have won numerous 
 awards. Farah was named 1998 laureate of the Neustadt International Prize 
 for Literature, and he is widely considered to be a leading candidate for 
 the Nobel Prize.\n\n\n
