Description
Fiction. In Kazim Ali's wildly inventive novel THE SECRET ROOM, written as musical score for a string quartet, he asks: How does one create a life of meaning in the face of loneliness and alienation from one's own family, culture, or even sense of self? During the space of one single day, the lives of four people converge and diverge in ways they themselves may not even measure.
