It's hot today. And so is our summer issue, #TLR27. tahomaliteraryreview.com/issues/issue-2…

I'm really stoked to see my story Fishbowl find a great home with Tahoma Literary Review! My first US story, which I wrote for my fiction workshops at English Department UNLV, brings in memories of Las Vegas and more. I've added a little note at the end about its conception. tahomaliteraryreview.com/selections/fis…

Loved this piece so much by Alyse Burnside!

A great day in NYC!!

Such a gutsy analysis by Shahriar Shaams about book review culture in Bangladesh and elsewhere. Loved it! thedailystar.net/daily-star-boo…

My full page op-ed in today's Daily Star is about failings of the Bangladesh interim govt's communications dept, perhaps "most vividly illustrated by the Chief Adviser's recent interview with Voice of America and the subsequent furore." thedailystar.net/opinion/views/…

Our featured selection this week is the wonderfully surreal "Fishbowl" by Mir Arif. It's as if Franz Kafka goes to game night and doesn't know the rules. tahomaliteraryreview.com/selections/fis…

Snowy day in Banglatown, Detroit!

Thrilled to workshop with Eley Williams! Thanks, Granta, for accepting me into Granta Writers’ Workshops.
