Recs if you like The Dead Wander in the Desert...

Here I will be collecting fiction books written by Central Asian (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan) authors that were published in English—either originally written or translated into English.

I’m on a personal journey of discovering more stories written in or about my homeland (which often intersects with most Turkic cultures especially that are now Central Asia) and would love if others share the joy of reading outside the comfort zone. ✨

Books from every country for reading around the world challenge (no particular order, I might have missed some, will be updating) Feel free to suggest!

Fiction books set in Kazakhstan
