SHORTLISTED FOR THE JOHN LLEWELLYN RHYS PRIZE
_______________
For a second I was almost jealous of the clouds. Why was he looking to them for an escape when I was right here beside him?
Raised in the upper echelons of Karachi society, Karim and Raheen's friendship is one of light and laughter. Their families, lives and destinies have been ostensibly intertwined since birth. However, as the spool of fate unwinds, a heavy silence grows between these two once-inseparable friends, culminating in a reckoning with the history of both their families and their country.
A masterpiece of mirth and tragedy, Kartography is an exhilarating meditation on the decaying nature of silence and the pain of detachment, and a reminder that the past is never quite as distant as it seems.
