Small Scale Sinners
Small Scale Sinners
A scintillating debut story collection examining a fundamental question: What does it mean to be good?
In twelve kaleidoscopic stories, Mahreen Sohail shifts our perspective on this question from moment to moment. Two girls observe a group of child soldiers and one reflects: "My sister and I were only small scale sinners.” A chorus of sixth graders unravels a school year they spend obsessed with their twin classmates. A girl cuts off her beautiful long hair for her boyfriend’s dying mother, but he immediately wishes she hadn't. Alternate, parallel lives are considered. With startling observations and economy of language, Sohail dives ever deeper into the question, asking how - in the midst of grief or betrayal, against a backdrop of war, or even just workaday suffering - being good matters. Small Scale Sinners announces the arrival of an extraordinary talent.
