Naqvi's DSC Prize–winning debut follows three young Pakistani "Metrostani" men in New York whose cosmopolitan self-invention collapses when the post-9/11 dragnet turns them into a suspected "sleeper cell," complete with detention and interrogation.
Told in exuberant, often very funny prose: entertaining on the surface, devastating underneath.
Content note: detention, interrogation.
