Critical Muslim (series of three short stories published in three issues of the quarterly journal, Critical Muslim)
Adil’s three linked short stories accompanied by photographs constitute an innovative series of literary and visual creative engagements with Islamic literatures and symbolism. ‘Night of Destiny: a fictional autobiography’ in Critical Muslim No. 5 ‘Love and Death’ January 2013; ‘The Beauty of Men’ in Critical Muslim No. 8 ‘Men in Islam’ October 2013 and ‘Nine Postcards from San Lucar’ in Critical Muslim No. 6 ‘Reclaiming Al-Andalus’ June 2013, which was co-authored with Professor Aamer Hussein, deploy visual and literary poetics in order to explore the current political and personal divisions at the intersection of Muslim and occidental cultural imaginaries.
