Description
In Kabul, ten years after 9/11, the city is a complex web of foreign aid and self-invention. Journalists, relief workers, and idealists live together in sterile compounds, throwing parties and selling stories to save others and redeem themselves. But when a car explodes on a crowded street, journalist Michiko Oketani discovers that its passengers were acquaintances from expat circles. As Michiko investigates the fatal explosion, she uncovers a paper trail leading beyond Kabul to other countries. Her research reveals old grudges, secret traumas, and private desires with public consequences. The victims' fictions of omission make each complicit in their own death, highlighting the manipulation of the war narrative by the American state. A gripping thriller that explores the contesting accounts of a city in turmoil, this book delves into the complexities of human desire and the power of storytelling.
