Yasmin Zaher: The Coin *BOOK CLUB*

The Coin marks the arrival of a striking new voice to the literary
landscape. Yasmin Zaher’s irreverent debut is as shocking as it is
stunning, as bonkers as it is beautiful. The Dylan Thomas Prize
winning novel is full of big ideas, but without ever moralising, as
our unnamed narrator navigates the squalor of New York City, after
leaving Palestine. Grimy city streets provide a backdrop for an
evisceration of modern culture, from politicians and the media to
religion and war. Our jeering narrator gets involved in a scheme
buying and selling Bikrin Bags. It’s tongue-in-cheek, outrageous,
and rude, but so much fun to read. She is unruly and unfiltered,
resisting adherence to hegemony, and a total riot. Join the book
