Description
Thirteen passengers are stranded at an airport. Tokyo, their destination, is covered in snow and all flights are cancelled. As they wait for the night to pass, they form a huddle by the silent baggage carousels and share stories. These tales of lives in transit weave together to create a novel about the hopes and dreams and disappointments that connect people everywhere. From cities like New York, Istanbul, Delhi, Lagos, Paris, Buenos Aires, each story is a unique exploration of what it means to be on the move. Rana Dasgupta's writing is distinctive and fresh, conjuring a sense of both timelessness and modernity. His stories are ordinary yet extraordinary, capturing the complexities of human experience in a world that remains ineffable and inexplicable.
