"In a powerful debut, Bobuq Sayed reveals how forces of rejection from state and family meet the alchemy of attraction, desire, and belonging. No God but Us not only expands American literature, but also Muslim, gay male, and migration writing. A new kind of novel, with vast geographies of nation and heart."

"No God but Us is a bold, tender novel about queer kinship and the fragile architectures of faith. Bobuq Sayed moves between voices and continents with rare confidence, tracing how exile and desire shape who we become. This is a story alive to contradiction—ferocious in its longing, unsparing in its honesty, and deeply attuned to the ways love and belief survive their own undoing."

“I can’t remember the last time I was so moved by a book. Bobuq Sayed’s No God but Us asks what might happen to one's consciousness when it's mangled by the forces of empire. At its heart, this is a novel about family–chosen and not–and I am lucky to count this story among my literary kin. This book is simply necessary, and very gorgeous.”
