Outtakes
Out1
In February, David Williams and H.M Naqvi took the train from Cortelyou to Canal Street, then strolled through Chinatown. On the way, David took some extraordinary shots. Later in the year, Nabeel Ashraf caught the author at his regular roadside haunt in Karachi. This shot was taken on the roof of the establishment.
Launch
After launches up and down the East Coast, from Harvard University in Cambridge to Border's in DC, after launches in Jaipur and Delhi and Dubai, Home Boy came home. The Karachi launch was standing room only. Musician, archivist, and photographer Shahi documented the event.

Several hot contemporary Pakistani artists were asked to render Home Boy on canvas.
First Draft of Home Boy
"If I remember correctly, I wrote a few lines of doggerel on a cocktail napkin, circa ’03, sitting on a barstool in the Bowery. The memory, admittedly apocryphal, suggests Home Boy was born that night."
