Asymmetry

Asymmetry is a debut novel exploring the imbalances that shape our human relationships. Divided into three sections, the book follows the tender romance between a young American editor and a much older writer during the Iraq War, and contrasts it with the narrative of an Iraqi-American man detained by immigration officers on his way to visit his brother. The perspectives of these two seemingly disparate stories interact and overlap, revealing new implications for their relationship. Asymmetry is an important and truly original work that captures the nature of fiction itself.
