The citizens of Karachi wake up and discover the sea missing from their shores, the last Parsi on Earth must escape to other worlds when debt collectors come knocking, and a family visiting a Partition-themed park gets more entertainment than they bargained for.
These stories and others showcase the epic scope of science fiction from the South Asian subcontinent. Offering a fresh perspective on our hyper-global, often alienating and always paranoid world, New Horizons brings together tales of masterful imagination where humanity and love may triumph yet.
Tarun K. Saint is an independent scholar and writer born in Kenya, and the editor of New Horizons. He has lived in India since 1972. His research interests include the literature of the Partition of India and science fiction. He is the author of Witnessing Partition: Memory, History, Fiction (2010), which was based on his doctoral dissertation. He has edited Bruised Memories: Communal Violence and the Writer (2002) and co-edited Translating Partition: Essays, Stories, Criticism (2001) with Ravi Kant. His most recent co-edited volume is Looking Back: The 1947 Partition of India, 70 Years On (2017), a collaboration with Rakhshanda Jalil and Debjani Sengupta.
