Son.”
He
begins
by
sharing
that what
fascinated
him the
most
about
the
tribal
wars
in
Afghanistan
and
Pakistan
, of
which
he
writes
,
is
the
timelessness
of
it
. He
explains
the
role
and
life
of a
Pakistani
“fixer”
who
is
a
translator
who
know
how to
work
the
system
and
get
things
done
. These
fixers
are
paid
$150
a
day
,
which
is
the
equivalent
of a
year’s
income
for
most
Pakistanis
.
Fesperman
goes
on to

the
character
,
Skellly

covered
previous
wars
such
as
Vietnam
and
Korea
. He also
describes
the
character
of
Najeeb
,
who
is
a
fixer
from a
powerful
family
and
considered
a
traitor
by his
tribal
clan
.
Najeeb
hopes
to
travel
to
America
with his
love
interest
,
Daliya
who
desires
an
education
and
modernity
while
resisting
an
arranged
marriage
.
Later
in the
interview
Fesperman
shares
that he
spent
time
in
Pakistan
following
September
11th
and then
when
the
Taliban
fell
went
into
Afghanistan
,
all
while
