Rehan Tabassum has grown up in a world of privilege in Delhi. His
mother and her new husband embody the dazzling emergent India
everyone is talking about. His real father, however, is a virtual
stranger to him: a Pakistani Muslim who lives across the border and
owns a vast telecommunications empire called Qasimic Call.
As Rehan contemplates his future, he finds himself becoming
unmoored. Leaving the familiarity of home for Pakistan in an
attempt to get closer to his father, he is drawn into events he
barely understands. His half brother, Isffy, is being blackmailed;
his powerful father's entourage is tearing itself apart; and the
city of Port Bin Qasim, where he finds himself, is filled with
rioting protestors. Moral danger lurks in every corner of this
dark, shifting, and unfamiliar world.
Set against the background of a turbulent Pakistan and a rapidly
changing India, "Noon "is a startling and powerfully charged novel
from a brilliant young writer. Aatish Taseer bears witness to some
of the most urgent questions of our times, questions about
nationhood and violence, family and identity.
