Sami Shah Bücher

Despite nearly being killed by a kangaroo and almost lynched and run out of town after his comedy was taken far too seriously, Sami Shah is very happy to be living in Australia. He has fronted his own satirical show on TV in Karachi, worked as a journalist and been a highly regarded newspaper columnist - all dangerous occupations to be involved in - when the combination of seeing the aftermaths of a devastating bomb attack and being the target of death threats convinced him to leave Pakistan. Under the terms of their Australian migration visa, Sami and his wife and young daughter were obliged to settle in a rural area, and so they moved to Northam in WA.Now Sami is battling a crippling addiction to meat pies, but at least is no longer constantly mistaken for an escaped asylum seeker from the nearby detention centre. He has also been the star of Australian Story, the subject of an article in The New York Times, and has performed countless comedy shows to ever-growing and appreciative audiences.I, Migrant tells the hilarious and moving story of what it's like to leave the home you love to start a new life in another country so your child can be safe and grow up with a limitless future. Australia is lucky to have Sami Shah. Read I, Migrant, and laugh till you cry.

From Sami Shah comes Fire Boy, the first of a two-part urban fantasy set in modern-day Pakistan, where djinns roam the street alongside corrupt cops, hustling beggars, and creatures from the darkest corners of Islamic mythology. Fire Boy is filled with supernatural entities and high-paced action, but it also gives the reader a vivid insight into life in Pakistan.

'Et Artistisk Skår Fra Mørkets Spejl' er en digtsamling, der udtrykker adskillige værdier, refleksioner og holdninger, der er blevet erhvervet gennem fysisk og psykisk udvikling i livet. Disse værdier er sat i et perspektiv, hvor de bliver fremstillet som en opmuntring for målgruppen, som primært er unge, der er mærkede af det senmoderne samfunds præstationskrav og skønhedsidealer samt psykiske udfordringer. Det sker ved at udpensle problemstillinger, der gennem et indblik i en tankestrøm, søger hen imod løsninger herpå og deler ud af erfaring og livsanskuelser.
