The Miraculous True History of Nomi Ali is now available in the UK. If you live there, or know folks who do, please find it, order from your favorite bookstore, click the highlighted book title, or here. Send kisses on strong winds--books don't find wings on their own. Particularly those exposing the horrors of empire, and with a lot of tenderness and love, "a kind of intervention of knowing to the colonial one," to quote Aracelis Girmay from my conversation with her last month in Los Angeles Review of Books.
Also pictured: Stokesia laevis, or Stokes' Aster. It's been budding and blooming since our return from NYC and the fab evening at McNally, where Mara Ahmed (left in the pic) asked me beautiful, thought-provoking questions on the book, and the audience engaged with so much heart.
