Özet
 Laconic, sharp and playful, 99 Nights in Logar is a stunning coming-of-age novel and a portrait of Afghanistan like no other, from an unforgettable new voice.

It is 2005 in Logar, Afghanistan, and twelve-year-old Marwand has returned from America with his family for the summer. He loses the tip of his finger to the village dog, Budabash, who then escapes. Marwand's quest to find Budabash, over 99 nights, begins. The resulting search is an exuberantly told adventure, one that takes Marwand and his cousins across Logar, through mazes, into floods and unexpected confrontations with American soldiers. Moving between celebrations and tragedies, Marwand must confront family secrets and his own identity as he returns to a home he's missed for six years.

Deeply humorous and surprisingly tender, 99 Nights in Logar is a vibrant exploration of the power of stories - the ones we tell each other, and the ones we find ourselves in.©2019 Jamil Jan Kochai (P)2019 Penguin Random House LLC Coming of Age Genre Fiction Literary Fiction Kurgu Esprili İlham verici

A very interesting and at times relatable story.

Would certainly recommend. I listened to it all in two days.

The Afghan stories we all need to hear

This book was beautifully written. It’s written from an Afghan for Afghans or those who care enough to engage with its languages and cultures in a genuine manner. As a diaspora born Afghan we don’t get to read something so accessible, yet recognising our own cultures that often. Western interpretations of our culture we find plentiful, but reading something in English reflecting our experiences with the rich culture of our parents is rare.
The narration, however, really ruined it. All the Pashto and Dari words were absolutely butchered. It’s completely mismatched with the whole essence of the book. I’ll read it myself. I recommend doing the same and sparing yourself Ali Nasser’s Arab interpretation of the book.
