If you could travel to any fictional book world, where would you go and what would you do there?
Tamim Ansary
I'd go to the Roman Republic depicted by Colleen McCullough in The First Man of Rome and The Grass Crown, the first two historical novels in her Masters of Rome series. I'd be there as an unobserved observer, just gawking and learning what it was like in that cruel, complicated, exhilarating, brutal cunning society. And then come back glad that I live here now instead of there then.

Do you think that the current peace negotiations happening in Qatar between the Taliban and the U.S. could 1.) curtail the social gains made in Afghanistan since the fall of the Taliban government, and/or 2.) greatly impair the overall effectiveness of the central Afghan government if the Taliban were able to reach some sort of an agreement? (Finally, I just want to say that I strongly admired your books! Thank you!)
