"Everybody is a migrant," says the novelist Mohsin Hamid.  In this episode, Miwa Messer interviews the award-winning author of pathbreaking works of fiction like Moth Smoke, The Reluctant Fundamentalist, How to Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia, and his celebrated new novel Exit West, which combines a modern love story, a quirky fable, and a wryly hopeful look at the possibilities for a world in which borders are not walls.  They begin the conversation with a lesson from Douglas Adams, about the secret of flying.
