Short Stories
ALBERT FINNEY’S SMILE
Non-fiction piece published by Penguin in the anthology From There To Here: 16 True Tales of Immigration to Britain about the journey of my father to England in the 1970s.
* Co-winner of decibel Penguin Prize in competition judged by Simon Prosser, Shami Chakrabarti, and Kate Mosse.
“Stylistically, the most accomplished piece here belongs to Nimer Rashed, a London-born playwright whose ‘Albert Finney’s Smile’ surges and ebbs with all kinds of possibilities…”
– Diriye Osman, Time Out
“From There to Here serves as a powerful corrective against the dehumanising slogans of the right-wing press. It gives voice to people rarely noticed outside the charged contexts of political debate, and, to quote Nimer Rashed, reminds us of how “everyone comes from somewhere”.
