The Accidental Gypsy

Rais Khan is an accountant’s accountant. When I first met him, he ‎seemed like the picture of the successful corporate executive. A quiet, ‎well-spoken, well-groomed and thoroughly professional man. I had him ‎typecast. I could not have been more mistaken.‎ As a biographic account, The Accidental Gypsy has shattered this ‎illusion. It does what all biographies should do, which is to give us a ‎view, which allows us to see more than the dismissive two-dimensional ‎cut-outs we operate in dealing with people. Rais Khan presents himself ‎and his life as anything but the grey conformity one would generally ‎associate with the corporate accountant. He presents us with an ‎account, which is varied, deep and subtle. One that one can gain ‎immense insight from. ‎ Etsko Schuitema, February 2017‎
