About this listen

Bloomsbury presents The Haunting of Hajji Hotak by Jamil Jan Kochai, read by Fajer Al-Kaisi, Peter Ganim and Suehyla El-Attar Young.

A finalist for the National Book Award - a luminous new collection of stories from a young writer with 'a singular, resonant voice, an American teenager raised by Old World Afghan storytellers' (New York Times)

**FINALIST FOR THE 2022 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FOR FICTION**
**NAMED A BOOK OF THE YEAR 2022 BY THE NEW YORKER AND THE ATLANTIC**

PEN/Hemingway finalist Jamil Jan Kochai breathes life into his contemporary Afghan characters, moving between modern-day Afghanistan and the Afghan diaspora in America. In these arresting stories verging on both comedy and tragedy, often starring young characters whose bravado is matched by their tenderness.

The Haunting of Hajji Hotak and Other Stories is a moving exploration of characters grappling with the ghosts of war and displacement - and one that speaks to the immediate political landscape we reckon with today.

'An endlessly inventive and moving collection from a thrilling and capacious young talent' Jess Walter, author of Beautiful Ruins.

'Kochai’s short fiction defies expectations – readers’ expectations of what a story should look like, and the story of a nation often told reductively and exclusively through media headlines' Guardian©2023 Jamil Jan Kochai (P)2024 Bloomsbury Publishing Plc
