Khan first arrives in Kabul in the spring of 2006-five years after the Taliban government was overthrown-she finds a city both familiar and unknown. Falling in with poets, archaeologists and film-makers, she begins to explore the city and, over the course of several returns, discovers a Kabul quite different from the one she had expected.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eShadow City\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eis an account of these expeditions, a personal and meditative portrait of a city we know primarily in terms of conflict. With Khan as our guide, we move from the glitter of wedding halls to the imperilled beauty of a Buddhist monastery, slip inside a beauty salon and wander through book markets. But as these walks take us deeper into the city, it becomes clear that to talk of Kabul's various wars in the past tense is a mistake.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePart reportage and part reflection, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eShadow City\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eis an elegiac prose map of Kabul's hidden spaces-and the cities that we carry within us.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32667609595970,"sku":"","price":350.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0263\/4884\/7170\/products\/15_390050f2-4294-40e3-ba92-37940590152c.jpg?v=1613035437","url":"https:\/\/koolskoolbookstore.com\/products\/shadow-city-a-woman-walks-kabul-paperback","provider":"KoolSkool The Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
