Zain Khalid made his debut with Brother Alive in 2022, a novel that follows three adopted brothers raised by an imam in a Staten Island mosque. As the brothers grow older, their lives take them from New York to the Middle East, testing the bonds of family and faith.
The novel earned attention for its ambitious scope and its willingness to sit with difficult questions about identity, religion, and what it means to belong. Khalid’s prose moves between continents and timelines with a confidence unusual for a first novel.
