The author ofHomeland Elegiesand Pulitzer Prize winnerDisgracedexplores the conflict that erupts within a Muslim family in Atlanta when an independent-minded daughter writes a provocative novel that offends her more conservative father and sister.
Zarina has a bone to pick with the place of women in her Muslim faith, and she''s been writing a book about the Prophet Muhammad that aims to set the record straight. When her traditional father and sister discover the manuscript, it threatens to tear her family apart. With humor and ferocity, Akhtar''s incisive new drama about love, art, and religion examines the chasm between our traditions and our contemporary lives.
