About the book

They are renaissance men. They are bon vivants. They are three young Pakistani men in New York City at the turn of the millennium: AC, a gangsta rap spouting academic; Jimbo, a hulking Pushtun deejay from the streets of Jersey City; and Chuck, a wideeyed kid, fresh-off-the-boat from the homeland. But when they embark on a road-trip to the hinterland weeks after 9/11 in search of the Shaman, a Gatsbyesque compatriot who seemingly disappears into thin air, things go horribly wrong. Suddenly, they find themselves in a changed, charged America. Rollicking, bittersweet and sharply observed, Home Boy is an immigrant’s tale, a mystery, and a beautiful story of love and loss that announces the arrival of an electrifying new voice in contemporary fiction.
