Like migratory birds in search of better food and climate, Delhites flock to New York and London over the summer. On a recent trip to both cities, I discovered why our experiences there should be anything but routine.

Tahmima Anam’s aptly titled new novel, The Good Muslim, was launched on the eve of Ramadan at Olive Bar & Kitchen in New Delhi, against the stunning backdrop of the Qutub Minar. In conversation with literary columnist Nilanjana Rao, Anam, a Bangladeshi writer, spoke of war, family and fanaticism.
The Good Muslim follows the success of Aman’s first novel, The Golden Age, and is the second part of a trilogy. I read The Golden Age over four years ago and remember getting entwined in the lives of the Haque family.
