Nadeem Aslam: Mystery is all there is

Michael E. Halmshaw interviews Nadeem Aslam in Guernica

Nadeem Aslam: This book is about love. People always say to me that my books are very melancholy, very sad, even bleak. I am aware that I work in the tragic mode. Plenty of people don’t. They write comic novels. I am not one of them. I like to put people under pressure within a certain set of circumstances and see how that reveals their true character.
