FOLLOWING TWO FAMILIES FROM PAKISTAN AND IRAQ IN THE 1990s TO SAN FRANCISCO IN 2016, 'THE BAD MUSLIM DISCOUNT' IS AN INCLUSIVE, COMIC NOVEL ABOUT MUSLIM IMMIGRANTS FINDING THEIR WAY IN MODERN AMERICA.

It is 1995, and Anvar Faris is a restless, rebellious, and sharp-tongued boy doing his best to grow up in Karachi, Pakistan. As fundamentalists in the government become increasingly strident and the zealots next door start roaming the streets in gangs to help make Islam great again, his family decides, not quite unanimously, to start life over in California. The irony is not lost on Anvar that in America, his deeply devout mother and his model-Muslim brother are the ones who fit right in with the tightly knit and gossipy Desi community. Anvar wants more.

At the same time, thousands of miles away, Safwa, a young girl suffocating in war-torn Baghdad with her grief-stricken, conservative father will find a very different and far more dangerous path to America. These two narratives are intrinsically linked, and when their worlds come together, the fates of two remarkably different people intertwine and set off a series of events that rock their whole community to its core.

'THE BAD MUSLIM DISCOUNT' is an irreverent, dramatic, and often hysterically funny debut novel by an amazing new voice. With deep insight, warmth, and an irreverent sense of humor, Syed Masood examines quirky and intense familial
relationships, arranged marriage, Islamic identity, and how to live together in modern America.



Running Time => 12hrs. and 23mins.
