The Beauty of Light

“In perception, redemption,” Adnan declares in this assemblage of mystical, metaphysical ideas and aphorisms, often in conversation with the dead. 'We have to say yes to that fate,' she writes of mortality, 'and it’s hard, the hardest.'” ―Matt Flegenheimer, The New York Times  "This intimate, extended conversation, conducted with journalist and producer Laure Adler, opens up Adnan’s personal views on various topics: war, history, philosophy, painting, poetry, and feminism. " —Christina Chatzitheodorou, Asymptote "Rather than pin down or bemoan our lack of perceptual surety, Adnan builds a nebula for readers to drift about. Her pages are a place for us to submerge, to question ourselves and each other even as we want to reach out and affirm that yes, we saw some nice fish down there—the colors really set off the light." ―K.B. Thors, Lambda Literary  "Given the uncanny breadth of her art, Adnan is a modern-day inheritor of 20th-century avant-garde movements like Dada and surrealism in which people moved fluidly between writing and art making in one recklessly inventive swoop." ―Negar Azimi, The Wall Street Journal
