A Map of Longings: The Life and Works of Agha Shahid Ali

Manan Kapoor

Finished A Map of Longings by Manan Kapoor. Just out from @yalepress. I loved reading about Agha Shahid Ali’s upbringing, mentors, histories, languages, & geographies — all that shaped him & (sometimes) his work. I’ve always felt a kinship with Ali. This biography is terrific. https://t.co/9StLVW2iIW
