- Summary:
- "[R]evolves around Basharat and his family, Indian Muslims forced to relocate to Pakistan during Partition. Through one absurd anecdote after another, Basharat-- awash in nostalgia, half-baked schemes, and sorrow-- emerges as a holy fool. A uniquely authentic portrait of postcolonialism and homesickness" -- page 4 of cover.
