Publisher's Summary

Naz is warned that given some of the conversations he's been having in Sri Lanka, he might have a hard time getting through customs on the way home. Naz ultimately receives an overwhelmingly regal welcome home, and in contrasting his experiences in Sri Lanka and back home, he discovers the story he wants to pass on to his son.

Full of information, humour and silliness

I have never heard anything quite like this podcast, and did not know quite how to take it at first. I do like Nazeem Hussain very much, and this was a great idea, for him to go to Sri Lanka with James and some recording equipment. Most of the sections of this podcast are very enjoyable, eg the first one set in Nuwara Eliya, where I went in 1974, and was amazed to hear that nothing much had changed, in the world of British-style hotels with dress codes. The most serious section, on the state of politics in Sri Lanka (avoiding taking sides) was well done, and I felt I learnt a lot from it. Other sections were also fine, but there was too much silliness for me, eg when Nazeem and James pretend not to know what concubines are. The part about the martial arts guy was so ridiculous, I thought it should have been left out. However, on the whole Rogue Son was entertaining to listen to, and told us again that people like Nazeem, caught between two cultures, have difficult lives, but also rewarding ones, in that they can point towards ways of reconciling differences between nations and cultures.
