Synopsis

QUEER AND LOATHING IN WAR-TORN IRAQ

In war-torn Iraq in 2003, a young gay Muslim struggles to find a balance between his sexuality, religion and culture.

Hasan Namir's GOD IN PINK is a revelatory novel about being queer and Muslim, set in war-torn Iraq in 2003. Ramy is a young gay Iraqi struggling to find a balance between his sexuality, religion and culture. Ammar is a sheikh whose guidance Ramy seeks, and whose tolerance is tested by his belief in the teachings of the Qur'an.

Full of quiet moments of beauty and raw depictions of violence, GOD IN PINK poignantly captures the anguish and the fortitude of Islamic life in Iraq.
