On Air

By Maniza Naqvi

This novel from the author of Mass Transit unfolds over a six-hour period in which the main character, Naz, tells stories to listeners and callers over the radio on a late night talk show slot that she has been offered to fill for just one night. The characters in Naz's stories reflect her own pathologies as she tries to come to terms with her experiences. Each story is built around the theme of a personal crisis but, in the telling of her tales, the underlying state of crisis in society is beautifully captured and imaginatively expressed.
