what you seek is seeking you

A mystical journey through the life of the Persian poet Rumi

Frame Abdolah

What you seek, seeks you is a triptych in which Abdolah has incorporated a novella about Rumi's life and translated some ninety poems and fifty stories by the Persian master. With this work, Kader Abdolah presents his personal selection from Rumi's awe-inspiring work to the Western reader. A much needed work, by Rumi and Kader Abdolah, in a time of haste and great unrest, to reflect on life for a moment. What you seek, seeks you is not so much about Rumi, but about us: humans, in our purest and most beautiful moments.
