The Wandering Falcon, by Jamil Ahmad
A fascinating peek into the mysterious wanderings of various tribesmen eking out an existence across the boarders of Afghanistan and Pakistan. Each character is vividly depicted and the harsh living conditions described with neither pity nor superiority. I found it a quick read into a deep culture and recommend it to anyone willing to view the unknown without judgment.
