“American Dervish” by Ayad Akhtar:
Milwaukee native Ayad Akhtar is getting rave reviews for his new novel, “American Dervish.” It’s a coming-of-age story based partly on his own experience as a Pakistani-American boy, growing up in Wisconsin.
Ayak Akhtar is an award-winning screenwriter and playwright with a new play opening this month in Chicago. His new novel, “American Dervish” is set in Milwaukee where he’ll be giving a reading at Boswell Books tonight.
