You can think of The Paris Letters as a series of essays, an ongoing conversation, a catalogue of ideas, and a repository of thoughts . . . in newsletter form. Published once a month on a Sunday, the letters range from personal stories to cultural critiques. If that sounds interesting to you, subscribe here si’l vous plaît and join the conversation. Some of my other writing from over the years below.
To the Esteemed Ministry of Energy and Water!
Practicing law in Afghanistan is frustrating and difficult, and in my first two weeks I’ve found that a little humor goes a long way. I laugh at the little things, like the strange punctuation in memos addressed to government offices: "To Esteemed Ministry of Energy and Water!" and "To Respected Office of Bidding of Goods and Spare Parts!"
