Today we welcome Pakistani-British writer Kamila Shamsie, author of the new novel Best of Friends and past The Stacks Book Club pick, Home Fire. We discuss the shifting of global political climates, the idea of 'girl fear' and Kamila stresses the importance of giving new writers a chance to mature, and we tackle the question, "How do you write after success?"
The Stacks Book Club selection for October is Fairestby Meredith Talusan. We will discuss the book on October 26th with Anthony Christian Ocampo.
