Ep 131: The Selected Works of Abdullah the Cossack by H. M. Naqvi

Anna and Annie discuss the publishing industry's pledge to increase diversity and the books by black authors topping the best-seller charts.  Our book of the week is The Selected Works of Abdullah the Cossack by H. M. Naqvi.  Abdullah is a 70-year-old man on a mission to save his family empire in this rich, playful novel set in Karachi. Naqvi's writing has great rhythm and brings to life the joy and chaos of the city.  Coming up: Cleanness by Garth Greenwell and How Much Of These Hills Is Gold by C. Pam Zhang.  Follow us!
