‘The Final Draft’ is the leading story in collection of twelve short stores exploring a range of themes, characters and settings. These are stories of love – both lost and found; war and terrorism; crime and creativity; even a children’s parable and a ghost story. In the title story, a dying writer tries to complete his masterpiece as his wife struggles to keep him alive.
What happens when he finishes it? A beautiful woman visits a place by the shoreline awaiting her lover who was killed in an air crash there. He arrives. And then? An Afghan terrorist rapes a young school teacher in Kashmir. How does she get her revenge? And what happens to an Army officer on his first patrol across No-Man’s Land.
Or the officer who plays a masquerade with a man on his death bed. When the virus devastates the world, we get a glimpse of a darkly plausible future in a Cloistered City. And discover how rainbows are created; or see a brilliant art-heist take an unexpected turn.
