{"product_id":"hijab-butch-blues-a-memoir-1","title":"Hijab Butch Blues : A Memoir","description":"'A masterful, must-read contribution to conversations on power, justice, healing, and devotion from a singular voice I now trust with my whole heart' GLENNON DOYLE, author of Untamed **Roxane Gay's Book Club March 2023 Pick** When Lamya is fourteen, she decides to disappear. It seems easier to ease herself out of sight than to grapple with the difficulty of taking shape in a world that doesn't fit. She is a queer teenager growing up in a Muslim household, a South Asian in a Middle Eastern country. But during her Quran class, she reads a passage about Maryam, and suddenly everything shifts: if Maryam was never touched by any man, could Maryam be... like Lamya? Written with deep intelligence and a fierce humour, Hijab Butch Blues follows Lamya as she travels to the United States, as she comes out, and as she navigates the complexities of the immigration system - and the queer dating scene. At each step, she turns to her faith to make sense of her life, weaving stories from the Quran together with her own experiences: Musa leading his people to freedom; Allah, who is neither male nor female; and Nuh, who built an ark, just as Lamya is finally able to become the architect of her own story. Raw and unflinching, Hijab Butch Blues heralds the arrival of a truly original voice, asking powerful questions about gender and sexuality, relationships, identity and faith, and what it means to build a life of one's own.\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eAuthor: H, Lamya,author\u003cbr\u003eContributors: H, Lamya,author\u003cbr\u003eBinding: paperback\u003cbr\u003eNumber Of Pages: 304\u003cbr\u003ePublication Date: \u003cbr\u003eRelease Date: \u003cbr\u003eLanguages: English,Published,English,Original Language\u003cbr\u003eEdition: 1\u003cbr\u003ePublished\/Release Date: 25 Apr 2024\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003ePublisher\/Studio\/Brand: Icon Books\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Director\/Artist: Lamya H\u003cbr\u003eDimension (cm): 200x130x20 mm\u003cbr\u003ePackage Dimension (cm): 25x196x129 mm\u003cbr\u003eItem Weight (g): 244\u003cbr\u003ePackage Weight (g): 270","brand":"Icon Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53089846198569,"sku":"BK1785788515","price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/5868\/0105\/files\/51Bmh21bQOL_22a0a64c-8e39-4aa4-b0ae-b0d853cfa157.jpg?v=1785027806","url":"https:\/\/www.centloop.com\/en-us\/products\/hijab-butch-blues-a-memoir-1","provider":"Centloop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
