Fairoz

Fairoz is a book-length poetry sequence in which Moniza Alvi explores an imagined teenage girls susceptibility to extremism. The books fragmented, collaging narrative draws together fairytale elements, glimpses of Fairozs thoughts, and pieces of dialogue. A folkloric representation of God and the devil acts as a wry counterpoint, touching on questions of morality. Fairoz is a powerful portrayal of human vulnerability.
