Close to the state line, an orphaned and disabled goatherd lives atop a minaret and is relegated to custodial work by the mosque's imam while the threat of occupation looms. When his aunt and cousin arrive, the mosque's congregants believe that the cousin, Faisal, is a young prophet. Faisal comes to also believe in his divinity, stoking the goatherd's envy and hatred. When the cousins fall in love with the same woman, the goatherd hatches a plan to supplant Faisal in all ways possible--as suitor and the mosque's savior. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKansastan is a singular work, infused with Islamic folklore, Quranic lyricism, and Old Testament tales, as American as Cormac McCarthy, and most importantly--viciously funny.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.13 Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/16\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781732868687\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 206\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.51w x 0.47d","brand":"Farooq Ahmed","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36667741339804,"sku":"9781732868687","price":14.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_bacb6ad5-0499-4af2-9b03-85de69e9c456.jpg?v=1603915662","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/kansastan-9781732868687","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
