Favorite Adult Books 2017 [in The Booklist Reader]

11 Dec, by Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center in Absolute Favorites, Adult Readers, African, Black/African American, British Asian, Caribbean, Caribbean American, Chinese, Chinese American, Fiction, Japanese, Korean, Korean American, Lists, Native American/First Nations/Indigenous Peoples, Pakistani, Repost, South Asian, Translation

What sweet agony to have so many fantabulous, freakin’ spectacular books from which to cull. I’ve got my 2017 favorite adult titles down to a baker’s dozen, chosen under great duress. They’re presented in alphabetical order – opposed to actually ranked, a feat which just might...

Road Tripping with Eclectic Audiobooks [in The Booklist Reader]

06 Jul, by Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center in Adult Readers, Audio, Fiction, Lists, Repost

Once upon a time, I was wary of audiobooks; I didn't think they were "real" reading. How wrong I was! Two sparked an obsession: Feed by M.T. Anderson, read by David Aaron Baker, with a full production complete with brain-fed ads and instant messages before I even knew...

The Golden Legend by Nadeem Aslam [in Christian Science Monitor]

24 Apr, by Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center in Absolute Favorites, Adult Readers, British Asian, Fiction, Indian, Pakistani, Repost, South Asian

'The Golden Legend' tells a magnificent story of terror and dignity I must confess: I missed my deadline. I simply didn’t want to finish this book. Letting go of Nargis, Lily, Helen, and Imran felt like a visceral cleaving. While Nadeem Aslam’s previous novels, including Maps...

The Blind Man’s Garden by Nadeem Aslam + Author Interview [in Bookslut]

01 Jul, by Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center in Adult Readers, Afghan, Author Interview/Profile, British, British Asian, Fiction, Pakistani, Repost

From the opening few pages of reading a Nadeem Aslam novel, I knew his writing was something to treasure and behold. Serendipitously, I used my then-day job to bring the Pakistan-born, British-educated-and-domiciled Aslam over the Pond to be a featured guest at the then-annual South...

The Blind Man’s Garden by Nadeem Aslam

16 May, by Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center in Adult Readers, Afghan, British, British Asian, Fiction, Pakistani

Who needs films when writers like Nadeem Aslam can create such eloquent canvases that no celluloid could ever hope to project? Blind Man's Garden takes you deep into the tragic 'war on terror' and shows you the very lives of the individuals who must live...

The Wasted Vigil by Nadeem Aslam

27 Mar, by Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center in Adult Readers, Afghan, Audio, British, British Asian, Fiction

In both content and form, The Wasted Vigil is a book of extremes. For readers who have experienced Nadeem Aslam before (and the apt word really is 'experience'), you'll recognize (and be awed by) his mesmerizing prose ...

Maps for Lost Lovers by Nadeem Aslam [in AsianWeek]

26 May, by Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center in Adult Readers, British, British Asian, Fiction, Pakistani, Repost, South Asian

Maps for Lost LoversPersonal favorite of the month – and favorite of many others as it won the Kiriyama Prize just recently. A pair of unmarried lovers goes missing. Five months...
