Synopsis
A profound attempt to rebuild faith in human compassion after a terrorist attack, and an extraordinary recommitment to the politics of abolition, activism and radical hope. From the Desmond Elliott-winning author of We That Are Young.
Usman Khan was convicted of terrorism-related offences at age 20 and spent eight years in high-security prison. In November of 2019, a year after his release, Khan was allowed to travel to London to attend a prison education conference at Fishmongers’ Hall. For a time he sat with the others there, some of whom he knew. He then retrieved the fake bomb vest and knives that he’d hidden in the bathroom and taped the knives to his wrists. He went on to kill two people: Saskia Jones and Jack Merritt.
Novelist Preti Taneja taught creative writing to Khan in prison. Merritt was her colleague. Through a wreckage of grief, doubt, and political fury, in the aftermath of an atrocity that shattered all trust, Taneja dived into writing as an act of survival. What emerges is a profound attempt to rebuild faith in human compassion and an extraordinary recommitment to the politics of abolition, activism and radical hope.

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Usman Khan was convicted of terrorism-related offences at age 20, and sent to high-security prison. He was released eight years later, and allowed to travel to London for one day, to attend an event marking the fifth anniversary of a prison education programme he participated in. On 29 November 2019, he sat with others at Fishmongers Hall, some of whom he knew. Then he went to the bathroom to retrieve the things he had hidden there: a fake bomb vest and two knives, which he taped to his wrists. That day, he killed two people: Saskia Jones and Jack Merritt. Preti Taneja taught fiction writing in prison for three years. Merritt oversaw her program; Khan was one of her students. It is the immediate aftermath, Taneja writes. 'I am living at the centre of a wound still fresh. The I is not only mine. It belongs to many. In this searching lament Taneja interrogates the language of terror, trauma and grief; the fictions we believe and the voices we exclude. Contending with the pain of unspeakable loss set against public tragedy, she draws on history, memory, and powerful poetic predecessors to reckon with the systemic nature of atrocity. Blurring genre and form, Aftermath is a profound attempt to regain trust after violence and to recapture a politics of hope through a determined dream of abolition. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. N° de réf. du vendeur GOR012269398
