It has been difficult for you to find a publisher in Pakistan. There was talk about the book being banned in Pakistan, like Ayesha Siddiqa’s Military Inc.
They did harass Ayesha, and tried to get the bookshops not to sell her book. There was daylong drama about the launch as the intelligence agencies tried to stop it. But I was in Pakistan only last month and Military Inc. is available openly and, from what I hear, is one of the bestselling books there. So even if they tried to ban it, it has not worked. As for my case, Pakistan has far bigger problems than to start worrying about what I believe is a funny little novel.
