The Mapmakers of Spitalfields

by Syed Manzurul Islam

Written between realism and fantasy, ascerbic humor and delicate grace, these stories, set in both Bangladesh and the East End of London, explore the lives of exiles and settlers, traders and holy men, transvestite actors and the leather-jacketed, pool-playing youths who defended Brick Lane from skinhead incursion.
