"This much-anticipated video from the Books on Toast combines our two big loves: books and AATISH TASEER," Sharin Bhatti

Get to know the author in this super-rare video interview where he talks to (nervously giggling dork) Sharin about books he grew up reading, his books, THE NEW FICTION NOVEL HE IS WRITING, political essays, his view point on his current OCI status, his family, what he's binge-watching and so much MOAR!

We also talk about 2020, the pandemic, languages, royals, Mishima, Marquez, Maupassant, Manto, VS Naipual - we could go on, but why don't you just watch :-D
