A Thousand Splendid Suns and the New York Times: Middle Eastern Women Lindsay Shapiro

There is a distinct and definite link between the novelistic themes presented in A Thousand Splendid Suns and those covered in The New York Times stories. With the knowledge that much of what is being written about Middle Eastern women?s issues within the journalistic community is reflective of concepts presented in a specific groundbreaking novel, it can be assumed that future works of fiction will have a similar relationship to coverage of controversial and timely issues.
