Fatima Bhutto in conversation with Sana Goyal

Veranda Books welcomes Fatima Bhutto, to discuss her new memoir, ‘The Hour of the Wolf’. This is a brave and intimate book, in which Bhutto recounts the story of her extrication from a toxic relationship, a story that crosses continents and travels into myth, literature, astronomy and art. Bhutto weaves wolf ethnography with her own suppressed maternal instinct and examines the power of found families through the prism of humanity’s connection to nature.

Fatima Bhutto is the author of two novels, The Runaways and The Shadow of the Crescent and the non-fiction New Kings of the World and Songs of Blood and Stone which deals with her father’s murder and the Bhutto family’s history in Pakistani politics. Bhutto’s journalism and essays have appeared in the New Statesman, New York Times, The Guardian and elsewhere.

Fatima will be in conversation with Sana Goyal, the Editor and Publishing Director of Wasafiri. Her reviews have appeared in The Guardian, FT, TLS and elsewhere. She was a judge for the 2025 International Booker Prize.
