For fans of Hanif Kureshi Mira Jacob and Mohammed Hanif.It is 1995 and Anvar Faris is a restless rebellious and sharp-tongued boy doing his best to grow up in Karachi Pakistan. As fundamentalists in the government become increasingly strident and the zealots next door start roaming the streets in gangs to help make Islam great again his family decides not quite unanimously to start life over in California. The irony is not lost on Anvar that in America his deeply devout mother and his model-Muslim brother are the ones who fit right in with the tightly knit and gossipy Desi community. Anvar wants more.At the same time thousands of miles away Safwa a young girl suffocating in war-torn Baghdad with her grief-stricken conservative father will find a very different and far more dangerous path to America. These two narratives are intrinsically linked and when their worlds come together the fates of two remarkably different people intertwine and set off a series of events that rock their whole community to its core.The Bad Muslim Discount is an irreverent dramatic and often hysterically funny debut novel by an amazing new voice. With deep insight warmth and an irreverent sense of humor Syed Masood examines quirky and intense familial relationships arranged marriage Islamic identity and how to live together in modern America.(less)
