description: In this standalone follow-up to the fan favorite The Gurkha and the Lord of Tuesday Saad Z. Hossain continues to mix futurism with fable and shows how strange our lives might become.While Gurkha introduced us to the techno utopia of Kathmandu Kundo takes us to Hossains native Bangladesh to the fading city of Chittagong which is slowly crumbling into the sea as even Karma goes silent. But Kundos contemplation of his dying city is interrupted when his wife leaves him and then goes inexplicably missing and soon Kundo starts to connect the dots between a number of disappearances. But this is Hossain and so theres more afoot than techno shenanigans. Kundo will find that the veil between worlds is paper-thin and the djinn have their own stake in the matter.Filled with enough ruminations on tea and coffee to wake anyone up this mystery/fantasy/science fiction/myth is a genre-breaker with something for everyone to love.
