This article expands on a topic mentioned in chapter 5, "The Business Trip." In this chapter Sultan journeys to Peshawar, Pakistan to find a printer for the books he wishes to reprint. This chapter discusses the flourishing black market trade that exists in Peshawar. The above article from The New York Times, entitled "Bootlegging, Pakistan-Style," expands on one aspect of the black market in Peshawar not mentioned in the chapter: alcohol. The article discusses how other cities are more lax when it comes to enforcing prohibition, but in Peshawar, where the Taliban are very prominent, the trade is much more dangerous and profitable.
