   How long is American Dervish?

   • Though “American Dervish” is 357 pages long, those pages fly by, and some added length wouldn’t have harmed the narrative. Finally, the novel’s coy epilogue hints too obviously at a second installment about how, as an adult, Hayat falls in love with a Jewish woman.
