註釋Why should the very things we share create such distance between us? The short stories in this thesis illuminate a paradox: love and fear draw us together, yet drive us to extremes of separation. Olena, a Ukrainian woman, now living in Moscow, discovers that her husband's new posting will draw her dangerously close to her disapproving mother-in-law. Fletcher, a Lhasa Apso, finds himself in the middle of game between his mistress and her commitment-phobic boyfriend. Sixteen-year-old Kathleen believes her family would be normal if not for her Pakistani grandmother. Larry Reilly moves to assisted living, learns to search the net and finds out his past. Opposites clash and realign until the last story, when Dr. Karanbir Singh receives an e-mail from someone who professes to be the child of his 1980s green-card marriage. These five stories were first published in We Are Not in Pakistan 2007, Goose Lane Editions NB, Canada. Also published by Rupa Publications India, 2009.
