Books by Suhayl Saadi

Psychoraag

Set during the six hours of a radio broadcast, Psychoraag is the mythic, yet utterly modern, tale of a raga-rock DJ who finds the ghosts of his (and his family’s) past catching up with him during his last night on-air. In this seductive, eloquent and dustily humorous novel, and through the kaleidoscopic medium of a long-century of music and song, Saadi elucidates the dynamic collective unconscious of the Asian British nexus.
