Description

Hardcover, 352 pages, published August 2022. Three brothers, born to different mothers but bound together by circumstance, live in a shared bedroom above a mosque in Staten Island. Their adoptive father, Imam Salim, is a man of radical sermons and secrets. As he prepares for a journey back to Saudi Arabia, the boys are drawn into an opulent world that promises a more sustainable modernity than their own. In this remarkable novel, Zain Khalid explores themes of family, capitalism, power, and sexuality through the story of Youssef, who harbours a mysterious double known as Brother. As the brothers navigate this new world, they must confront the harsh realities of their past and the true nature of their father's secrets. Stylistically brilliant and intellectually acute, Brother Alive is a powerful exploration of identity, community, and the complexities of human connection.
