Dark Times Shine a Light on Books
“In a world that seems to be entering into a time of darkness, novels are embers that we cup in our hands, embers of potential,” said internationally acclaimed author Moshin Hamid, at the opening press conference of the Frankfurt Book Fair this week. The author, most recently, of the novel The Last White Man, stated that global civilization “is entering what seems like a period of darkness. Novels are crucial to the future of the planet, not only because they tell us stories of people who are different from us, and allow us to empathize, and encourage us to blur the boundaries between one group and another. No, novels are also important because of their form, because writing and reading a book is itself a profound and hopeful act of cooperation.” We couldn’t agree more.
