When you wake up for your airport trek and see your face in the LATimes!

With Mindy Kaling in her corner, author Amina Akhtar sets out to shake rather than strangle...

Amina Akhtar's third novel, 'Almost Surely Dead' — the next book from Mindy Kaling's Amazon imprint — is part supernatural thriller, part social commentary, part family saga.

If you’re upset that people from colonized countries—whose families were impacted directly by the British monarch—aren’t being “respectful,” maybe just stop and read why people hate them. This wasn’t stuff that happened a long time ago. My parents were born under colonial rule.
