From his slimy, unmiraculous birth to the tragic death of a loved one, Ib wanders the city, from one thing to another, confused, lost and alone, all the while reflecting on his predicament. He is searching for something-what he does not know-and must overcome many obstacles: family, religion, love and, finally, death. Will he be defeated by 'this wreckage of modern life?' Will a mysterious woman lift him out of the 'cement' in his soul? </p><p> In this journey of sadness and self-reflection, Ib tranforms into an ordinary man from an ordinary boy and along the way, tries to figure out life and understand himself. </p><p>In this audacious debut that is insightful, original and deeply disturbing, Roshan Ali's play of language is nothing less than masterful.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Roshan Ali is thirty years old.
