Downfall by Degrees: and other stories

By Abdullah Hussein

"The Exile, however disillusioned by his people, is never able to escape his longing for them. How terribly strange it all is."

Downfall by Degrees takes the reader on a journey that explores the nature of alienation and exile. The drawing rooms of Lahore's high society, the ghettos of Britain, an estate in the Pakistanin countryside, the bedroom of a beautiful woman - these are the setings for these stories of love and identity, longing and becoming, exile and return - stories that probe with masterful precision and exquisite balance the condition of modern man at odds against himself.
