A THOUSAND TIMES BEFORE by @ashathanki is "an intricate and heartbreaking novel, it considers what we inherit and how history shapes us… [and] beautifully captures the warmth of sisterhood and the bonds that women share.” (via @NPR's Best Bookclub Books!) npr.org/2025/01/15/nx-s1-519…

I hope the map will help reframe the Great American Road Trip — which our immigrant families love — and put South Asians in the driver's seat.
There are so many more up-and-coming — and underrated — South Asian American authors writing fiction spanning America beyond the coasts!
