Description
Usman Khan's story is one of conviction, release, and tragedy. In 2019, he carried out an attack at Fishmongers' Hall in London, killing two people. Preti Taneja, who taught fiction writing in prison for three years, including to Khan, reflects on the aftermath of this event. Taneja's book is a searching lament that interrogates the language of terror, trauma, and grief. She draws on history, memory, and powerful poetic predecessors to reckon with the systemic nature of atrocity. Blurring genre and form, Aftermath is a profound attempt to regain trust after violence and to recapture a politics of hope through a determined dream of abolition. Through her writing, Taneja confronts the pain of unspeakable loss set against public tragedy, seeking to understand how we can move forward from such events.
