A day in the life

Anjum Hasan

Buying Options
Paperback / Hardback

Quietly devastating, subtly subversive, and wonderfully wry.
Quixotic nonconformists in small towns and young newly-weds trying to keep up with the times; a forlorn retiree helpless in the face of contemporary anger, and a middle-class woman’s bond with her maid. Fourteen well-crafted stories give us a sense of the daily life of a wide cast of characters. Hasan’s protagonists are, as always, inward-looking, and whimsical and vulnerable outliers. Where is their place in the new order, where
have they come from and where are they going?
