Her father, Lars, was a foodie and a chef. Eva’s story begins sadly, as her mother abandons her as an infant, and soon after that, her father dies of cardiac arrest. Ryan Stradal is an engaging story of Eva Thorvald, a major culinary force. Part satire of college life circa 2011 and part serious exploration of art’s fundamental unreality, Portrait of Sebastian Khan is a humorous coming-of-age novel about a charismatic but emotionally stunted Muslim American Don Draper, who wins as many hearts as he breaks. 3.5 stars: KITCHENS OF THE GREAT MIDWEST by J. Sebastian’s membership in Model United Nations, though, takes him to colleges across North America, foisting upon him all manner of temptations and testing his commitment to Fatima and his readiness for adulthood. An art history major with a fondness for the Pre-Raphaelites and a dislike of long-term commitments (romantic and otherwise), Sebastian starts dating Fatima, who’s determined to transition smoothly from campus life to a stable white-collar professional career. Sebastian Khan is 380 days away from the end of college. “… startling coming of age story.” - Necessary Fiction “Rashid gives us the chance to look at millennials in a different light.” - Atticus Review Ryan Stradal, author of Kitchens of the Great Midwest
