One that I can recall. Mohsin Hamid, with this book Moth Smoke. An amazing book btw. I went to a jewish professors office and it was sitting there. He talked at lengths about it and it made me feel proud.

Which brings me to the question. Have there been any other bestselling authors from pakistan on the times list?
