My name is Furhad Khan, a British writer, based in Berlin, with roots in Azad Jammu & Kashmir.
I’m a Berlin Senate Literature fellow, which I received for my first novel, ‘The Drowned Bird’.
My most recent publications include the short story, ‘Tether’, and my non-fiction poem, ‘Living Memory’, featured in a Sìdhe Press anthology.
