Beschreibung

<p>In eight unflinching and stunningly crafted stories, Kanza Javed unspools the lives of characters desperately trying to forge a path for themselves on the margins of society. An addict teaches his young son to shoot feral dogs on the streets of Lahore. A Christian nurse gets drawn into a plan to trap the ghost of her patient's former lover. A Pakistani student in a small Appalachian town grapples with a startling act of violence that shatters her illusions of safety and freedom. A lonely wife, trapped indoors by a harsh winter, becomes increasingly obsessed with a cloth worry doll left behind by a previous tenant.</p><p>Written with keen psychological insight and remarkable empathy, these stories reach across divides of class, gender and religion as Javed deftly examines questions of identity and agency, belonging and loss. <em>What Remains After a Fire</em> is a moving portrayal of fiercely resilient characters who desire more than what their circumstances can offer them-and what these desires ultimately cost them.</p>
