These are settings, characters, and situations rarely seen in contemporary literature and woefully absent from the bookshelves of the English-speaking world, but they cry out to be known. Ali brings them unforgettably to life with empathy, wisdom, and subtle sensuality. These stories will haunt you in the best way.-- Chaitali Sen, author of \u003cem\u003eThe Pathless Sky\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eA New Race of Men from Heaven\u003c\/em\u003e (forthcoming from Sarabande Books and winner of Mary McCarthy Prize for Short Fiction)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFiction.
