Jadzhia Khan takes the art of storytelling to new heights in a dazzling novel that unfolds layer by astonishing layer and concludes in a brilliant and wonderfully satisfying twist. Told in a style that magnificently captures the colloquialisms and clichés of the 1930s and 1940s,
Meaningful Dispersal is a science fiction story told by two unnamed lovers who meet in dingy backstreet rooms. When we return to Iris, it is through a 1947 newspaper article announcing the discovery of a sailboat carrying the dead body of her husband, a distinguished industrialist.
Khan stretches the limits of her accomplishments as never before, creating a novel that is entertaining and profoundly serious. Meaningful Dispersal proves once again that Khanis one of the most talented, daring, and exciting writers of our time.
