Reviews
Yasmin Zaher's The Coin does much more than meet the highest standards of literature: it sets its own standards...The Coin is not a wonderful beginning that promises masterpieces to come - it already is a masterpieceSlavoj Zizek
The Coin is a filthy, elegant book, keen on the fixations that overtake the body and upend a lifeRaven Leilani, author of Luster
I loved this bonkers novel. I was hooked by the voice, and mesmerized by the glamorous and sordid hijinks. I have never read such a strange and recognizable representation of post-2016 New York City, its luxury and squalor. Zaher is a writer to watchElif Batuman, author of Either/Or and The Idiot
