Nazeem Hussain: Rogue Son
- Narrated by: Nazeem Hussain, James Milsom

Publisher's Summary
Nazeem Hussain is a grown man whose Mum won't let him go to Sri Lanka. At least, not without her by his side. But he's just had a kid, and he's started thinking ahead to the questions his son might ask him one day, like, 'why are we brown?'
So Naz flies to Sri Lanka with the echoes of his Mum's protests in his ears.
Naz tours Sri Lanka at a pivotal time for the country, politically and culturally. A new government is elected while Naz is in the air, so he lands in a strange atmosphere of confusion and change. Under this government's previous reign, disappearances of minorities were rife, and as a minority Muslim in this country, Naz's Mum has good reason to be scared of what's coming for him. And in the face of a mountain climb, a battle with a lethal martial arts guru, the forces of black and white magic and a deathly curse, Naz should really be scared too.

Differences and similarities
Really interesting. Learnt a lot about Sri Lanka, things I was only vaguely aware of. Made me think on how people who grow up away from their familial origin can feel alien in both places alongside as feeling from them (I'm like this). Also how it can be positive.

What a fun journey to Sri Lanka! Love Nazeem’s honesty and innocence! He’s a fine example of a young proud Australian. Loved the music too

A good cultural assessment of current Sri Lanka
I enjoyed listening to the entire series, at every pause impatient for the next section. His coverage, presentation, and humor are great. Happy to hear he visited the "Welding Doctor" but sad he missed an opportunity to talk to him. One of the wrongly described things in Sri Lanka is commonly identifying purely Sri Lankan traditional medicine as Ayurvedic medicine - which comes from India. Sri Lanka has both Ayurvedic as well and traditional medicine that are made out of plants only. The "Welding Doctor" is also a Sinhala traditional medicine practitioner - not an Ayurvedic doctor. Unfortunately, even his Sri Lankan aunties were unable to make this fact correct. Nazim's assessment of the political change is mostly accurate, so is his assessment of Sri Lanka's deep division that is unseen to foreigners.

Spellbinding throughout
Nazeem is not just a funny man, but a fantastic storyteller, and this is quite a tale. I was completely absorbed from the very beginning right to the final words. Didn’t want it to end. I hope there’s more like this!
