Bobuq Sayed is an Afghan-Australian writer, editor and artist now based in New York City. They join Sam on Queer View Mirror to discuss their debut novel No God But Us, released this week in Australia via Ultimo Press.

No God But Us follows the story of two Afghan men, cast out of their countries of birth, who collide in the city of Istanbul. The city tests their willingness to sacrifice everything for the ones they love.

Bobuq discusses the feelings that come with having a book released across the globe, their Australian literary influences when crafting their work and the relevance of the story's themes in today's current context.

No God But Us is out now via Ultimo Press. More information on Bobuq and the novel can be found here.
