Faiza S Khan Book Recommendations & Book Mentions

I love so much of Colapinto's writing (especially his superb novel About the Author about a stolen manuscript which I've been thinking about recently re: Yellowface) and this is such a great subject - definitely giving this a listen https://t.co/tQjPFpyQtp

I very much enjoyed An American Marriage by Tayari Jones. Very, very polished, immensely readable and oh that Southern lilt.

Out of stock

I have what I hope is flu and shall be spending the day in bed reading the Natalie Haynes Medusa book, Stone Blind, and possibly watching Do Revenge. I dislike how bourgeois I've become of late whereby I really do have to be ill to spend a day doing nothing. https://t.co/lB6agnBBhO

I loved Bad Blood by Lorna Sage. I had my concerns going in because I'd heard so much about it over decades but it was gripping and funny and dark and ruthless and not at all disappointing. I only wish it had been twice as long.

Happy publication day to Elaine Castillo's How To Read Now. It makes me so happy that it exists https://t.co/ciqFREqdPT

Congratulations all round, especially to glorious Alex von Tunzelmann for Fallen Idols! Also very pleased to see Midnight on Cairo here and Ewan Forbes which I did an edit on and learned *so* much from about the long, hidden history of trans rights https://t.co/CQ5XpkB657

Mirza Waheed launched his quietly shocking novel Tell Her Everything last week in conversation with Mohammed Hanif. The VERY BEST time was had. Tell Her Everything is an astounding book about a small town doctor made good living with a secret about how he made his money. https://t.co/Z2qSeugldS

Still the best Hollywood novel I've ever read, on Anna May Wong and being Asian in Hollywood, and the eternal irony of fighting fascists abroad while upholding racism at home - Delayed Rays of a Star. https://t.co/m8MxjGlMNt

The other thing about reading Madeline Miller's Circe was that I became the last trekkie on this earth to finally make the connection between Odysseus and this guy. https://t.co/KeUmfYCbY8

Have you ever seen such a beautiful cover? Designed by Emma Ewbank using artwork by Minaa Mohsin, Mira Sethi's debut Are You Enjoying is in shops in the UK and India/Pakistan from 27th May. No, you may not have my copy. https://t.co/Ha789koH7Y
