My first published article with The Austin Chronicle, April 16, 2018! Mohsin Hamid, best selling author of Exit West, and someone whose writings I have followed from Moth Smoke was in Austin. I wrote, “There was a familiarity about the evening. It seemed like no one was a stranger there. Austin, the heart of Texas, and Hamid, the heart of reason, were thinking alike. How could people who had never met before – or even been in the same city – be so comfortable with each other?”
