Surfing in Pakistan: How Great Books, Art, Language, and the Internet Unite Two People, Two Cultures, and All of Us - Hardcover

by Sana Nasim (Author), Caleb Powell (Author)

When Pakistani artist and polio survivor Sana Nasim reaches out to Caleb Powell, blogger for the Karachi-based Express Tribune, an extraordinary and transformative friendship begins. She questions her will to live and wants to improve her English, he wants to create a work of art.

In the tradition of Azar Nafisi's Reading Lolita in Tehran, they read and discuss the opuses of Truman Capote, Harper Lee, W. Somerset Maugham, Toni Morrison, and Barbara Kingsolver, pushing Sana to write moving and powerful stories of life in Pakistan.
