Diaspora Blues by Mashudul Haque [Hardcover]

"Ehsan realizes that life is not linear and finds himself trapped in a multidimensional puzzle. Despite Khilkhet in Dhaka and Ujantoli by the seaside being close, his presence in these two places serves different purposes. Why are there three suns in the sky of Auraland, and why is everyone's age twenty there? Why is a seventeen-year-old girl running away in a suburb of England, and why is a bear in a vast field of paddy determined to kill him by leaving a beehive? To solve these questions, he seeks the advice of an elderly sage, well-versed in the labyrinth of the mind. Although the sage guides him to the path, Ehsan himself must open the dangerous doors. 'Diaspora Blues' is an unprecedented journey of self-discovery that combines a young man's dilemmas, sense of duty, revenge, sacrifice, and achievement."
