I can’t wait to read Sarah Aziza’s #TheHollowHalf out with @catapultbooks.bsky.social in a few days. I heard her read from it at #AWP and it is gorgeous.

Bapsi Sidhwa Pakistani writer extraordinaire left us on 12/25. A literary great, she had a spirit of generosity to match. We owe her a great debt for the novels she leaves behind. She connected me to Ravi Singh, editor who published NOOR at Penguin India. Thank you for all, Bapsi. Rest in peace.
