Daniel Kalder (15 September 2011). "The Vanishing Fascination of Truly Anonymous Authors". The Guardian. Over in Azerbaijan, meanwhile, Ali and Nino is revered as the national novel and the fact that it was written in German by a Jewish convert to Islam is seen as, well, problematic. Thus if you visit the book's Wikipedia page you will see that some very helpful people have 1) declined to mention Reiss's book even though it was a bestseller in several countries, 2) indulged in some character assassination aimed at Nussimbaum (which is nothing compared to the muck flung at him on his biographical entry), and 3) advanced the thesis that the "core author" is the "Azerbaijani writer and statesman" Yusif Vazir Chamanzaminli, apparently on the basis of DEEP textual analysis, although they admit that Essad Bey's "fingerprints" are on the book – yucky!
