Yusuf Toropov :: American novelist, nonfiction writer, and playwright. My novel JIHADI: A LOVE STORY, about a US intelligence agent accused of terrorism, published by Orenda Books. I was born a Muslim, but only realized that in 2003. A man will only have what he strives for. 53:39 I am creating the possibility of harmonious acceptance in the Middle East, USA, and Europe via literature and a global conversation about coexistence.

The JIHADI: A LOVE STORY blog tour is ON!
Watch this space for updates on every one of these events, coordinated by the amazing +Orenda Books. (Click here for early reviews of the novel, which have been beyond my wildest dreams.)
DAY ONE: For reviewedthebook.co.uk, my spirited defense of Stephen King's principle that "inspiration is for amateurs." The rest of us commit to a daily word count. You can find this post here.

DAY TWO: Steve Wright of livemanylives.wordpress.com had this to say about the book when he reviewed it last month:
He then conducted a great, thoughtful interview. You can find it here.

From the banner above, this all looks like nothing so much as a big rock and roll tour ... without the groupies, drugs, alcohol, or, you know, physical proximity. But intellectually -- yes, exactly like a big rock and roll tour!
(Shouts into mike:) Are you all ready to have a good time?
