Kekejaman adalah satu-satunya cara agar kami selamat. Jalan terbaik adalah tidak memercayai ucapan para tahanan. Seseorang yang dipenjara akan selalu berbohong untuk menyelematkan dirinya. Sepucuk surat yang tak terkirimkan, ditemukan seseorang yang kemudian mendorongnya menulis surat yang lain. Surat pertama melahirkan surat kedua, ketiga, dan seterusnya. Masing-masing membawa sebuah kisah, juga rahasia hidup penulisnya. Juga cerita mereka yang tak pernah menerima surat-surat itu. Dari seorang perempuan yang menanti kekasihnya, seorang teroris yang berbalik menjadi interogator penguasa, hingga seorang pembantu rumah tangga di sebuah negara teluk yang lari dari kawin paksa di negerinya. Surat-surat dan kisah-kisah ini berjalinan, laksana Hikayat Seribu Satu Malam. Ditulis Hoda Barakat, novel ini memperoleh International Prize for Arabic Fiction tahun 2019.

Tochtli lives in a palace. He loves hats, samurai, guillotines and dictionaries, and what he wants more than anything right now is a new pet for his private zoo: a pygmy hippopotamus from Liberia. But Tochtli is a child whose father is a drug baron on the verge of taking over a powerful cartel, and Tochtli is growing up in a luxury hideout that he shares with hit men, prostitutes, dealers, servants and the odd corrupt politician or two. Down the Rabbit Hole, a masterful and darkly comic first novel, is the chronicle of a delirious journey to grant a child’s wish. It has created quite a buzz in the Spanish-speaking world and beyond. It was published in Spain in 2010 (Anagrama) and has already been translated into Portuguese, French, Italian, German, Romanian, Dutch and English. Every writer should attempt to go beyond the limits of possible experience. It sounds nice: really I just copied it from the dictionary. The dictionary also says that to transcend is to find out something that is hidden. That is: reality on its own is worth nothing; we have to transform it into culture. - Villalobos.

No view of the modern world is complete without an understanding of Islam. To understand Islam, we must understand Muhammad- as a Prophet and Man British author Karen Armstrong explains "western shallow understanding" of Muslims’ prophet Muhammad and presents a clear and solid account of His biography. She clears up a huge amount of western fallacies about the Prophet presenting credible justifications and rich referencing. ‘We must approach his life in a balanced way, in order to appreciate his considerable achievements’, says in her book’s introduction and boldly states 'The Prophet Muhammad' was not a man of violence’ Karen Armstrong has used abundant literature to support an impartial account of the Prophet’s life as an individual and a leader. He is reported to be a man who embraced all the distinguished human qualities that every human must follow and learn from. She affirmed that Muhammad’s struggle was not driven by a hope to impose religious orthodoxy but to ‘change people’s hearts and minds’. He was entrusted to convey and disseminate Allah’s final religion and extricate people from the darkness of ignorance and despotism. ‘We have a long history of Islamophobia in Western culture that dates back to the time of the Crusades’, Armstrong declares before she asserts that ‘Muhammad was not a man of violence’. She calls on people to ‘approach his life in a balanced way, in order to appreciate his considerable achievements’. According to Armstrong, misconception about Muhammed and His religion cultivates inaccurate prejudice, which harms human values of tolerance, liberality, and compassion.

Dalam cerpen "Robohnya Surau Kami", berdialoglah Tuhan dengan Haji Saleh, seorang warga negara Indonesia yang selama hidupnya hanya beribadah dan beribadah… "kenapa engkau biarkan dirimu melarat, hingga anak cucumu teraniaya semua. Sedang harta bendamu kau biarkan orang lain yang mengambilnya untuk anak cucu mereka. Dan engkau lebih suka berkelahi antara kamu sendiri, saling menipu, saling memeras. Aku beri kau negeri yang kaya raya, tapi kau malas. Kau lebih suka beribadat saja, karena beribadat tidak mengeluarkan peluh, tidak membanting tulang. Sedang aku menyuruh engkau semuanya beramal di samping beribadat. Bagaimana engkau bisa beramal kalau engkau miskin. Engkau kira aku ini suka pujian, mabuk disembah saja, hingga kerjamu lain tidak memuji-muji dan menyembahku saja. Tidak..." Semua jadi pucat pasi tak berani berkata apa - apa lagi. Tahulah mereka sekarang apa jalan yang diridai Allah di dunia.
