US paperback of THE MIRACULOUS TRUE HISTORY OF NOMI ALI--available for pre-order


About Me

Uzma Aslam Khan
Author of five novels, most recently THE MIRACULOUS TRUE HISTORY OF NOMI ALI. Some short fiction and non-fiction too. I was born in Lahore, Pakistan, and grew up mostly in Karachi. Movement has been a close friend and home. As a child, I also lived in Manila, Tokyo and London. As an adult, in Upstate NY, Tucson, Lahore, Rabat, Honolulu, and, presently, western Massachusetts. I wrote my first (complete) story at age six and can never remember a time when I didn't scribble in a notebook. In this photo, I’m on a suspension bridge in Hunza, northern Pakistan, where a previous novel THINNER THAN SKIN is set. I found the bridge on my way from Passu to Gilgit. In case you’re in the area, you can hazard the crossing by following this route.
