The Dissident Club: Chronicle of a Pakistani Journalist in Exile reminds us of the power of the media
The Dissident Club is an action-packed graphic memoir about Islamic politics, complex family dynamics, and one man’s dedication to truth and principle. With illustrator Hubert Maury, Taha Siddiqui, winner of the prestigious journalism award Prix Albert Londres, tells the story of his intriguing life and career, beginning with his childhood in Saudi Arabia and Pakistan under the stern gaze of a fundamentalist Islamic father. Siddiqui rebels against his religion, but his personal freedom is constrained by strict Islam, especially after his father joins a jihadi mosque.
