One of NPR’s 50 Best Science Fiction and Fantasy Books of the Decade: A fifteenth-century palace mapmaker must hide his powers in the time of the Inquisition . . . Award-winning author G. Willow Wilson’s debut novel Alif the Unseen was an NPR and Washington Post Best Book of the Year and established her as a vital American Muslim literary voice. Now she delivers The Bird King, an epic journey set during the reign of the last sultan in the Iberian peninsula at the height of the Spanish Inquisition. Fatima is a concubine in the royal court of Granada, the last emirate of Muslim Spain. Her dearest friend, Hassan, the palace mapmaker and the one man who doesn’t leer at her with desire, has a secret—he can draw maps of places he’s never seen and bend the shape of reality. When representatives of the newly formed Spanish monarchy arrive to negotiate the sultan’s surrender, Fatima befriends one of the women, not realizing that she will see Hassan’s gift as sorcery and a threat to Christian Spanish rule. With their freedoms at stake, what will Fatima risk to save Hassan and escape the palace walls? As the two traverse Spain with the help of a clever jinn to find safety, The Bird King asks us to consider what love is and the price of freedom at a time when the West and the Muslim world were not yet separate. “Wilson has a deft hand with myth and with magic, and the kind of smart, honest writing mind that knits together and bridges cultures and people.” —Neil Gaiman, author of Norse Mythology “A triumph . . . one of the best fantasy writers working today.” —BookPage “A treasure-house of a novel, thrilling, tender, funny, and achingly gorgeous. I loved it.” —Lev Grossman, author of the Magicians trilogy

Anbefalet som årets ungdomsbog til sommerferien 2013 i Politiken. I et unavngivet mellemøsteligt land hjælper en ung arabisk-indisk hacker, Alif, sine klienter – fjender af systemet, fredløse, islamister og andre overvågede grupper – med at kunne ytre sig frit på nettet uden at ryge i magthavernes net. Alif er en af de bedste til det, han laver, men han bliver alligevel åndet i nakken af Hånden, systemets mand i marken. Og fra den dag, hvor Alif modtager Alf Yeom, et helligt skrift, som har både Koranen og 1001 nats eventyr, som underliggende tekst, er han jaget vildt og må flygte fra sit hjem. Det bliver en flugt, der bringer ham i kontakt med dæmoner og en underverden, der hidtil har været ham ukendt. Med efterord af Kåre Bluitgen. Anbefalet som årets ungdomsbog til sommerferien i Politiken 2013 Anbefalet i Politikens gaveguide til børne- og ungdomsbøger, julen 2013 Pressen skrev: »Alif er et veldrejet bidrag til at fatte, hvad der sker derude. Overvældende i sit indhold. Bogen vil det hele, og den når det hele. Sproget er letflydende og levende. Det er som at vinde i (bog)lotto. Det er sjældent, der kommer så kloge og kraftige historier for unge og opefter.« ***** - Steffen Larsen, Politiken »Romanen kan læses med særlig fryd af it-freaks med hang til e-mailkonti, RAM, servere, metaforer, kodenet, krypteringer og applikationer, botnet og roterende IP-adresser, men ellers kan den nydes for den elementære spænding, for de indlejrede, sitrende kærlighedshistorier. Eller for det sprogfilosofiske perspektiv, der – i diskussion med Foucault – åbner mulighed for at transformere et middelalderligt persisk skrift (Al Yeom) til en kvantecomputer med flere lag af betydninger indlejret ... som man gerne så overført til filmlærredet.« **** - Niels Houkjær, Berlingske »I denne spændende roman blandes en realistisk mellemøstlig problemstilling med djinner, overtro og mystik, og med 1001 nats eventyr som gennemgående inspiration. Dette skaber en rigtig spændende og underholdende cocktail ... En spændende, underholdende og mystisk debutroman, som nok skal finde sine læsere blandt de ældste unge samt voksne. Især de der også holder af det overnaturlige element.« - Merete Trap, Lektør »Det er en roman, hvor det realistiske og det fantastiske går hånd i hånd og stakåndet over siderne ... Romanen er en ren pageturner, og til trods for dens 450 sider er den ikke en side for lang og ikke et øjeblik kedelig ... Den er velskrevet (godt oversat), så det er en meget spændende og stærkt anbefalelsesværdig bog, man her med sindsuro kan give sig i kast med.« - Eiler Jensen, Børn & Bøger

“[A] Harry Potter-ish action-adventure romance” set during the Arab Spring, from the New York Times–bestselling author of the Ms. Marvel comic book series (The New York Times). In an unnamed Middle Eastern security state, a young Arab-Indian hacker, who goes by Alif, shields his clients—dissidents, outlaws, revolutionaries, and other watched groups—from surveillance, and tries to stay out of trouble. The aristocratic woman Alif loves has jilted him for a prince chosen by her parents, and his computer has just been breached by the state’s electronic security force, putting his clients and himself on the line. Then it turns out his lover’s new fiancé is the “Hand of God,” as they call the head of state security, and his henchmen come after Alif, driving him underground. When Alif discovers The Thousand and One Days, the secret book of the jinn, which both he and the Hand suspect may unleash a new level of information technology, the stakes are raised and Alif must struggle for life or death, aided by forces seen and unseen. This “tale of literary enchantment, political change, and religious mystery” was a New York Times Notable Book and winner of the World Fantasy Award for Best Novel (Gregory Maguire). “Wilson has a deft hand with myth and with magic.” —Neil Gaiman, author of American Gods

The extraordinary story of a young North American''s conversion to Islam and her ensuing romance with an Egyptian man, The Butterfly Mosque is a stunning articulation of a Westerner embracing the Muslim world After graduating from university, Willow Wilson, a young American — and newly converted Muslim — impulsively accepts a teaching position in Cairo. There, she meets Omar, a passionate young nationalist with a degree in astrophysics. Omar introduces Willow to the bustling city, and through him she discovers a young, moderate nationalist movement, a movement that both wants to divest itself of western influence and regain cultural pride. When the two find themselves unexpectedly in love, despite their deep cultural differences, they decide that they will try to forge a third culture, a new landscape that will embrace some of each of their cultures, and give their fledgling romance some hope of survival. Wilson weaves this engaging personal story with deep insights into faith in a fractured world, and gives westerners rare insight into an important young reform movement. Butterfly Mosque is an inspiring account of an unlikely cross-cultural love, and the moving story of two young people working within the boundaries of contemporary religion and culture to forge a life together against the odds.
