Razia Mirza is a Pakistani woman from Corona, Queens, who grew up in a tight Muslim community surrounding the first Sunni masjid built in New York City. When a rebellious streak leads to her ex-communication, she decides to hit the road. Corona moves between Raziaâ€™s childhood and the comedic misadventures she encounters on her journey, from a Puritan Colony in Massachusetts to New York Cityâ€™s Bhangra music scene. With each story, we learn more about the past sheâ€™s escaping, a past which leads her to constantly travel in a spiral, always coming closer to but never quite arriving home.

"These stories have the heft of a novel and the elliptical grace of poetry. Rehmanâ€™s hot-blooded, ferociously funny, and deeply sensitive protagonist travels from the Muslim community of Queens to roadside Florida to the fogged windows of San Francisco and the Lower East Side. Along the way she falls into and out of love, takes frightening, exhilarating risks, repeatedly saves her own life, and comes into sharp-focus like a shaken photograph. She is about to gleefully dynamite every narrow stereotype you might have about a young Pakistani woman from Corona. A stunning debut from a vital new writer." - Karen Russell, author of the novel Swamplandia! and Vampires in the Lemon Grove
