In a sense, this reveals the ability of Ali Master to transcend his challenging life circumstances and constraints, ultimately finding freedom and success on many levels of his life in America.
There were hints of humor as Master reflected on many critical things that confined him in terms of Islam, Pakistani politics, and cases of sexual predators, alcohol abuse, toxicity, murder, death, and possible suicide.
Whenever there were dark moments in the book, these moments were not dwelled on for dramatic effect but either smirked at, brushed off, richly evaluated, or laughed upon through reflection as he progressed further, developing into the journey of his liberation, gratitude, and joy.
The author's tone I found, was dipped in satire, which majorly contributed to this and I suspect my own connectivity to certain subjects he presented and how he presented them made me smile or laugh.
The more directly humorous moments were:
When Judy first met Ali, she suspected him to be a rapist, this was her first impression of the guy she later gets married to,
and,
the moment when Ali decides ( via his mental conversations with God) to help a stranger at the Houston International Airport, by quickly swapping clothes in the men's room so that the guy Calvin, can board his plane with the correct dress code, leaving the gate agent speechless and Judy stunned (when she meets Ali) in baggy Bahama shorts, oversized sneakers and the OP tank top A tense hopeless and emotional situation here was quickly switched up to sheer spontaneity, joy and humor, reflecting on the author's state of spiritual growth and liberation at this point.
