Catch Up with Louise McSharry
Catch Up with Nussaibah Younis, author of Fundamentally
Season 1, Ep. 311
•
You don't need to have read Nussaibah Younis' excellent book Fundamentally: A Novel to enjoy this chat with her - she is charming, funny and super smart. However, the book, the story of a heartbroken young academic who takes a job in Iraq attempting to deradicalise ISIS brides (a job Nussaibah has done herself), is great.
The books I referred to during this interview were Fashion Babylon, Hotel Babylon and Air Babylon by Imogen Edwards-Jones.
