...grown up in Hounslow before moving on to a Cambridge degree and a senior job in journalism. The novel is written in an imaginative mix of English, Punjabi, Urdu, profanity, gangsta rap and mobile-phone texting. (As in, "Shudn't b callin us Pakis, innit, u dirrty gora.") Its multiculti flavor has led to Malkani being hailed in the celebrity-hungry British press as the next Monica Ali or Zadie Smith in a line of hot young "ethnic" writers.

Their number, which varied in different accounts from two to 12, eventually settled on three, most likely because of their three gifts.

...border was a place near Mexico, where I was born. For my children, the border may turn out to be on a different map entirely. I grew up on the South Side of Chicago in a neighborhood that was multiculti way before being multiculti was the thing. Every weekend when I was a child, all six of us in my family would shuttle from our spacious, airy apartment in Hyde Park to the overcrowded, bustling barrio of Pilsen, where Mami would buy carnitas, chicharron and, of course, fresh corn tortillas carefully wrapped in paper, all soft and steaming...
