How to be Muslim

The words "a bad" in the title are blacked out but still legible.
Summary: These essays from New Zealand writer Mohamed Hassan blend storytelling, memoir and non-fiction to map the experience of being Muslim in the 21st century. Traversing storytelling, memoir, journalism and humour, Hassan speaks authentically and piercingly on mental health, grief and loss, while weaving memories of an Egyptian immigrant fighting childhood bullies, listening to life-saving 90s grunge and auditioning for vaguely-ethnic roles in a certain pirate movie franchise.
