Abdolah's The House of the Mosque and My Father's Notebook have appeared in English here, and he has been acclaimed "moving and illuminating" (Publishers Weekly), "captivating and distinctive" (TLS),  and "clean and lyrical" (Kirkus Reviews).
Rezensionen
The King is utterly fabulous in both senses of the word: a sly, witty, knowing fable, full of charm and humour. Deceptively simple in its storytelling, it reads like one of Angela Carter's fairy tales transposed into the nineteenth-century Qajar Persian court. Kader Abdolah is a masterful and completely addictive storyteller WILLIAM DALRYMPLE
