“Repeat expat Manal Khan lives in fact, in fiction–and everywhere in between”
Dear readers,
I was recently interviewed by The Displaced Nation, a New York-based online collective of travelers, expatriates and ‘global nomads’ pursuing creative interests, in their homes-away-from-home. Click here to read the interview, and let me know what you think!
Hugs,
Manal

Hi Manal :) I had read your blog on ET and I felt like someone had finally written honestly about the conflicting feelings of being in Pakistan. The privileged lifestyle can get suffocating, and the polarization unsettling. I really enjoyed how you described it.

It seems like the Pakistani and Lebanese societies are very similar, and you describe exactly how I feel about it! By the way, I read Samarcande this summer and loved it :) Enjoy Madrid, and Espana! (I’m a it jealous :p) And great blog! Looking forward to read some more!

I’m glad I read the interview, because I discovered your poem ‘Foreigner’. How refreshing it was to hear someone else articulating my own feelings about being a privileged, (primarily) English-speaking Pakistani so eloquently! Thank you, Manal.
