Daniyal Mueenuddin just made a pit-stop here in L.A. to promote his collection “In Other Rooms, Other Wonders,” which has been making waves. I couldn’t go to the reading at Vromans because I had to teach a night class of creative nonfiction, but I’m going to catch up with him soon. So until then, I offer you this hodgepodge.
Very few reviews are out yet, but there’s an interview at Ultrabrown. Also, Beatrice asked him about one of his favorite short stories, so Mueenuddin writes about Turgenev’s “The Singers.”
The Wall Street Journal has a little bio article and Ward Six praised the title story, published in the New Yorker, when it came out two years ago.
TIME magazine doesn’t have a review, but a “Life on the Farm” meet-the-author.
If you’d like to read a few of his stories, the title story is available online at the New Yorker, as is “A Spoiled Man.”

Actually, he’ll be at Vroman’s on March 2–so you can still attend!
Ooo, so glad it was rescheduled! Now I have another shot.
