Too Asian, Not Asian Enough: An Anthology of New British Asian Fiction

This anthology showcases some of the most exciting new talent in Britain, including Bidisha and Nikesh Shukla, and raises questions about British Asian identity, which is so often focused on arranged marriages and generational culture clashes. Some of the surprises in store include a foodie revenge for a separated husband; a nosy grandmother who takes spying on her neighbors too far; a gay man who is swindled during a whirlwind affair; a ruthless woman who collects hair in a European country; a gang-related attack that comes back to haunt the perpetrator; a brutally short haircut that makes a woman reasses her life; an argument that develops at a coke-fueled party; a visitor to Jerusalem who is deceived; and an artist who unwittingly causes the downfall of David Beckham.
