Alive and Well in Pakistan

Alive and Well in Pakistan, Ethan Casey’s landmark 2004 book of personal narrative nonfiction, has been praised as “compulsory reading for anyone visiting Pakistan” by the Harvard International Review, “magnificent” by Ahmed Rashid, author of Taliban and Descent into Chaos, “intelligent and compelling” by Mohsin Hamid, author of The Reluctant Fundamentalist, and “wonderful … a model of travel writing” by the novelist Edwidge Danticat. In The Daily Telegraph, reviewer Alex Spillius wrote: “The author’s real journey is a search for common humanity.”

Alive and Well in Pakistan is being republished in an updated 10th-anniversary edition, with extensive new material, in May 2014
