Don't worry. 'Elixir' was a horrible book. Ali Alizadeh is among a long list of writers (without much talent) from the Muslim World who use Islam as a springboard, draw upon its poetic reserves and then show contempt for it. This is a non-Muslim's observation by the way.
Of course, I have no problem that a character was loosly based on me in his book 'Elixer'. But it is unforgivable that he plagerised an entire paragraph of mine that I helped him write after he promised to give credit for it but for which he never did. His defence at the time? "My publisher said I should credit as few people as neccessary"
Ali, beautiful poetry reading.
