Are You Enjoying?: Stories

An exhilarating debut by a young writer from Pakistan: funny, provocative, disarmingly original stories that upend traditional notions of identity and family. From the high-stakes worlds of television and politics to the intimate corridors of home (kitchen, drawing room, bedroom), these wryly observed, engaging, deeply revealing stories look at life in Pakistan with humor, compassion, psychological acuity, and emotional immediacy. Childhood best friends agree to marry in order to keep their sexuality a secret. The daughter of a wealthy but distant father takes up with a married man twenty years her senior. And every story bears witness to the all too universal desire to be loved--the vulnerable workings of the human heart--and what happens when this longing gets pushed to its limits. Are You Enjoying? is a free-spirited, confident, indelible introduction to a galvanizing new talent.
