If you're an Indo-Muslim-British-American actor who has
spent more time in bars than mosques over the past few
decades, turns out it's a little tough to explain who you
are or where you are from. In No Land's Man Aasif Mandvi explores this and other
conundrums through stories about his family, ambition,
desire, and culture that range from dealing with his
brunch-obsessed father, to being a high-school-age Michael
Jackson impersonator, to joining a Bible study group in
order to seduce a nice Christian girl, to improbably
becoming America's favorite Muslim/Indian/Arab/Brown/Doctor
correspondent on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. This is a book filled with passion, discovery, and humor.
Mandvi hilariously and poignantly describes a journey that
will resonate with anyone who has had to navigate his or her
way in the murky space between lands. Or anyone who really
loves brunch.
