The Diaspora Defector
“Was quoting Faiz in a JNU canteen in 2014. Now quotes Fox News in a Columbus Costco parking lot.”
A Note From the Family
“Our child left for graduate school quoting Faiz Ahmed Faiz at every family dinner. Eighteen months later, the dinners are about school choice and 'the real news nobody's telling you.' We miss the tote bag. We are seeking a match who won't ask which version showed up tonight.”
