How I Accidentally Became a Global Stock Photo and Other Strange and Wonderful
Stories is part memoir, part travelogue and part love letter. Shubnum Khan
takes the reader on a journey around the world. Whether it is teaching children
in a remote village in the Himalayas, attending a writers’ residency where the
movie The Blair Witch Project was shot, getting pulled out of the ocean in Turkey
or becoming a bride on a rooftop in Shanghai, Shubnum is quirky, moving and
vulnerable in what she shares.
Shubnum offers an introspective reflection on what it means to be a woman,
particularly a single Muslim woman in South Africa, trying to find herself in a
modern world. The stories are drawn from her life journey, which has been full
of unexpected twists and turns, and are interspersed with reflections on culture
and religion as well as musings on family, relationships and love.
The Mindy Project meets Bridget Jones’s Diary with a side of Keeping Up With The
Kandasamys, this is a book about holding onto hope and a reminder that once
‘you step off the edge, anything can happen’.
