[Eterazs] adventures are a heavenly read. -O, the Oprah magazineIn this supremely assured, lush, and rip-roaring book, Eteraz manages to do the impossible, gliding confidently over the chasm that divides East and West. Wildly entertainingmemoir of the first order. -Murad Kalam, author of Night JourneyAli Eterazs award-winning memoir reveals the searing spiritual story of growing up in Pakistan under the specter of militant Islamic fundamentalism and then overcoming the culture shock of emigrating to the United States. A gripping memoir evocative of Persepolis, Reading Lolita in Tehran, and the novel The Kite Runner, Eterazs narrative is also a cathartic chronicle of spiritual awakening. Yael Goldstein Love, author of Overture, calls Children of Dust a gift and a necessity [that] should be read by believers and nonbelievers alike.
