Seasonal Adjustments
Adib Khan’s first novel follows Iqbal Chaudhary, who returns to Bangladesh after eighteen years in Australia with his young daughter. Caught between two countries and two versions of himself, he confronts his family, his past and the country’s history. It won the Commonwealth Writers’ Prize for Best First Book.

Seasonal Adjustments was well received among literary circles, and although it’s quite critical of Bangladesh in many ways, there wasn’t a public backlash. I must say, though, that I was less of a fan of two his later novels, Spiral Road and Magic Seeds, which deal with the threat of terrorism in Bangladesh. I simply didn’t find either realistic, and I thought that he overplayed that threat.
