Last year, writer Rahad Abir and I, Gemini Wahhaj, read from our books at Georgia's DeKalb Library. Aruni Kashyap was kind enough to invite us. We had such intense conversations about the project of writing about Bangladesh that I wanted to go on talking. So much about book publishing in stressful, including traveling for events, but I will always remember the conversations I had and the people and institution who were kind enough to host.
