Adam  Zameenzad appeared on the British literary scene in 1987 with the publication of ‘The Thirteenth House’ which won the ‘David Higham’ prize for the First Best Novel of the year.  It was followed by his most popular and best loved book ‘My Friend Matt and Henna The Whore’ in 1988, in 1989 ‘Love Bones & Water’ was published and in 1990 ‘Cyrus Cyrus’  each receiving the same degree of critical acclaim accorded to his first novel both here in the UK and the US.  He went on to write two other books, ‘Gorgeous white female’ and his last published book ‘Pepsi & Maria.’

He was a non-conformist and sacrificed all in order to be the voice of compassion and humanity.  

Review on ‘My Friend Matt & Henna The Whore.’ – 
‘Beautifully written, imbued with enormous integrity and insight, his book is a plea for us to exercise humanity towards our fellow humans; it is in the characters’ expressions of love and care that we are offered a glimmer of hope, both for the present and the future.’ – Time Out

    From his daughter Samia.

    Sadly, Adam passed away in December 2017 and as his daughter I am going to continue to promote his work, not only for him and his legacy but I truly believe that his words need to be heard.
    I will be promoting some of his work on this page; to include many of his unpublished poems and thoughts.  I will be grateful for all support and would ask you to share and like his page and his work.
