I haven’t got any time for it

excerpt from Pessimism
The choices I made
in passing moments
The secrets I kept
impressed me with the tiniest of dents.
The aluminum foil,
the fabric of my self laid bare
excerpt from Aluminum Foil
What shall I say
The genius comes on

A thousand fragments
Littering the page
To let them know
That I think harder now
excerpt from Insanity, if you please

Indian American Immigrants from the Early 20th Century to the Present: A Fictional Family History
Diya Das' novel is based on an honors project completed during her junior year at Wyoming Seminary in Kingston, PA. It is a historical fiction told through three venues - San Francisco (1917-1918), Chicago (1980-1981) and New York (2005). The end result is a conglomeration of American history, literature and fiction.
Das, a first generation Indian immigrant, decided to write about Indian-American encounters throughout American history.
