National Book Award for fiction finalist Daniyal Mueenuddin will be on Concordia campus (Minnesota, USA) to meet with students, hold master classes and be part of an evening of Readings and Conversation at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, March 25, in the Centrum, Knutson Campus Center.
Mueenuddin grew up in Pakistan with his American mother and Pakistani father until he was 13 years old. He then moved to the United States to attend boarding school. After graduation from Dartmouth College and Yale Law School, he returned to work on his family’s farm in Pakistan’s southern Punjab, where he lives today. His book that was a finalist for the National Book Award in fiction, “In Other Rooms, Other Wonders,” draws on the strata of contemporary Pakistan to give readers a sharp sense of their own lives. His stories have appeared in The New Yorker, Granta, Zoetrope and The Best American Short Stories 2008, selected by Salman Rushdie.
