Harun Al-Rashid

The Memoirs of an Unrequited Love Harun Al-Rashid

Early in life, Rudevish Shekab falls prey to the notion that without love his life is meaningless. With an iron-hard character, Lunaba Mini is his ideal girl but from a different faith. His tribulations begin when he knows for sure that he won't get the woman for whom he has lived. Told from the afterlife when Rudevish's understanding of his former life is complete, The Memoirs of an Unrequited Love is the story of Rudevish's obsession and his confrontation with the Frankenstein monster of his own creation. Harun Al-Rashid, an exciting new voice in South Asian literature, uses his gift for imagery and his unique sense of language to weave the story of a man torn between reality and an ideal - a man who will either be lifted to the nirvana of perfect love or be consumed and destroyed by it.
