City of Incident: A Novel in Twelve Parts by Annie Zaidi [Hardcover]

The City of Incident captures the intertwined stories of six women and six men, each grappling with struggles and disappointments in a vast, indifferent metropolis. These characters, often overlooked or glimpsed in passing, represent lives on the periphery—people we may see from a distance or read about in a fleeting news report. Through their fragile moments and intersecting lives, the novel offers a darkly realistic view of urban life, revealing the unseen struggles of a city’s most marginalized inhabitants.
