Overview
"The following collection of short stories explores a group of Pakistani Muslims moving through the world. The stories are linked, but can also be read as stand alone pieces. My intention for this work is to tell some of the stories of the South Asian diaspora, and to explore the complexities of first generation Americans, Muslims who practice Islam at varying degrees, and Pakistanis from different class backgrounds. When these characters engage with one another, both kinship and conflict arise. Navigating and reconciling their relationships is of interest to me, because it is what I have to do on a daily basis." -- Abstract
