In this debut collection, Nadeem Zaman explores the lives of the rich and the wretched, the powerful and the socially exiled, the loved and the lonesome. Set in Dhaka—where politics, tradition, and traffic all weave into the fabric of ordinary life in curious ways—these stories truly capture the pulse of the vibrant, chaotic megacity.
