An unnamed narrator takes it upon himself to discover the truth behind the assassination of Sheikh Mujibur Rehman-who led Bangladesh’s independence movement from Pakistan, which was achieved in 1971-and his entire family. With literary greats for company, the narrator negotiates his complicated personal life and his philosophical and literary musings even as he locates a gun to shoot the assassins who are still alive. Hallucinatory, flitting between reality and dreams, and traversing the length and breadth of Dhaka, this is a fever dream of a novel-an individual’s quest while navigating the scarred and traumatized mind of a nation.
