As a young woman in Cairo in the forties and fifties, Ahmed witnessed some of the major transformations of this century—the end of British colonialism, the rise of Arab nationalism, and the breakdown of Egypt’s once multireligious society. As today’s Egypt continues to undergo revolutionary change, Ahmed’s inspirational story remains as poignant and relevant as ever. n January 25, 2012, will be the anniversary of the Tahrir Square protests that marked the beginning of the Egyptian revolution forcing the resignation of President Hosni Mubarak n With a new afterword by the author leilA AhMed is the first professor of Women’s Studies and Religion at Harvard Divinity School. She is the author of Women and Gender in Islam. She lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
iSBN 978-0-14-303574-9 $16.00 Mary Karr The Liars’ Club n A New York Times bestseller n Winner of the PEN/Martha Albrand Award n Kin will be released by Vanguard Records in March 2012 Also available from Penguin: Cherry 978-0-14-100207-1 $15.00 The landmark memoir by bestselling author—and now songwriter—Mary Karr “ The essential American story . . . a beauty.” —Jonathan Yardley, The Washington Post Book World AvAilABle NOW Poet and memoirist Mary Karr and legendary country/ Americana artist Rodney Crowell were born a few years and about one hundred miles apart in the same swampy, godforsaken stretch of East Texas. Kin, an album of songs which Vanguard Records will release in March of 2012, features lyrics cowritten by Karr and Crowell and inspired by their lives and by the ferociously loving yet dysfunctional families they grew up in. With performances by such stars as Emmylou Harris, Norah Jones, Lucinda Williams, Vince Gill, Leeann Womack, Rosanne Cash, and Kris Kristofferson, these songs will bring a new audience to Karr’s sharp, brutally honest memoir.
