Annie Zaidi
â€˜Curious villagers stopped to stare at this shameless man and woman whose fingers were wound in each othersâ€™ hair, and whose lips were stretched with impossible smiles, and faces were glowing like warm red wax in the late afternoon. But after a minute or two, they too walked away, because looking at the two any longer became unbearable.â€™,A woman who wonâ€™t let the shadow of death disrupt her love life, another who falls irrevocably in love with a dead police officer, a devoted wife who steps out twice a week for Narcotics Anonymous meetings, friends who should have been lovers, the woman who offers all her pent-up love to a railway announcerâ€™s voice â€¦ Annie Zaidiâ€™s stories are at once warm and distant, violent and gentle â€“ and, above all, untroubled by cynicism. This is a look at love, straight in the eye, to understand the alluring nature of the beast.
