Description
The Selected Works of Abdullah the Cossack is a story about a man who awakens on his 70th birthday with a sense of desperation. Having spent years trying to create a lasting legacy, he feels lost and disconnected from his past.
As he navigates this crisis, Abdullah's life becomes increasingly complicated by the arrival of an unexpected guest - his old friend Felix Pinto's adolescent grandson Bosco - and a mysterious woman named Jugnu who seems to be hiding secrets. Meanwhile, his brothers plot to evict him from their family estate.
This novel is set against the vibrant backdrop of Karachi, a city that has played a significant role in Abdullah's life. With its unique blend of anarchic humor, erudite insights, and rollicking energy, The Selected Works of Abdullah the Cossack is a captivating tale about one man's struggle to hold on to his identity.
