Official Review: Divided World by Kenneth Pickering

[Sirajuddin A]

There are plays in this book that discusses the issues regarding the refugees and their sufferings, and it is interesting to know that most of the authors are from the middle east who can understand the problems of the refugees in a better way.

Issues immigrants face are twofold. Leaving what they know, good or bad, and trying to assimilate in a new place, can be traumatic. There are stories about these thoughts and emotions. It’s interesting to see them in play format. It’s an intriguing concept.

'Exploring the Boundaries', and 'Jump' were my favorite plays. Overall the plays are raw, powerful, gripping, and more often tragic. I enjoyed reading them, but was not as happy with the editing. I did find some noteworthy grammatical errors. After a second round of editing, this should be an enjoyable read.

Sounds quite interesting, refugees in other countries undergo lots of unfavorable circumstances till breakthrough. A drama to discuss such issues seems like perfect timing in these times when foreigners are being mistreated amidst the pandemic. Quite short but cool. Great review, congrats on being BOTD.

All though you gave a good review, these plays are not for me.

At first, while looking at the title, I thought the book is about war, conflicts and things of a similar theme! But to actually find out that it is a collection of plays by different playwrights, I am very impressed they have compiled a great piece together.

This one seems a book which is worth a try for a change. I am not much into watching dramas, but reading a screenplay is a different experience. Congratulations on being BOTD. And it is sad to mention that though it is stated that the book is free, I did not found a amazon soft copy to be bought free

Immigration issues swipe across dozens of people. Interestingly, incorporating drama in this anthology sounds enjoyable book to read. I'd love to add this to my shelf. Thank you for the nice review.

A book of dramas addressing issues that affect refugees and the generations that come after them sounds like an interesting read, but the lack of proper editing may detract from my reading experience. Thanks for the review.

[D3R3ZZ3D]

I'll give this one a read. I'm interested in the profiles you mentioned for the authors as well. It's also nice that they're all shorter as to fit more content and yet not become too overwhelming. It's a bit out of my usual reading habits, but worth trying something new. Thank you for the suggestion and review.

Nice review. I haven’t read a series of plays since college. This seems like a very interesting read and an intriguing way of portraying middle eastern life and the struggle for autonomy.

[Wordlessly]

This is a wonderful idea of an anthology where people struggle to maintain their identity and cultural shift. Not my kind of book but definitely worth a look. Thank you for the informative review.

[Anusha Thatavarthi]

Plays and dramas have always been powerful ways of addressing social evils and conditions. They are also slowly disappearing in the world of writing. I thank Kenneth Pickering for bringing forth this anthology of modern dramas. I think this would be an interesting and stimulating read. Congratulations to the author on BOTD!

I've not seen a book that it's reoccurring theme is acceptance. Even in families, this is where we often miss it. We must accept one another's humanity. Good job.
