Spend five minutes with Bobuq Sayed, author of NO GOD BUT US!
More about NO GOD BUT US (on sale 5/26/26):
In this wry, provocative debut, two gay Afghan men—cast out of their respective countries of birth by circumstances beyond their control—collide in Istanbul, a city that will test their willingness to sacrifice everything for the ones they love.
Advance praise:
“[An] impressive debut...Sayed skillfully balances the personal with the political.”
—Publishers Weekly
“In a powerful debut, Bobuq Sayed reveals how forces of rejection from state and family meet the alchemy of attraction, desire, and belonging. No God but Us not only expands American literature, but also Muslim, gay male, and migration writing. A new kind of novel, with vast geographies of nation and heart.”
—Sarah Schulman, author of The Fantasy and Necessity of Solidarity
