A gay man's online diary from Pakistan's dial-up era. Karachi, After Midnight: Volume 1 - Complete Edition compiles all of Shams's entries from 2003, bringing together Counting Traffic, Storm Season, and City Electric in one full-volume paperback.
In 2003, Shams (a pseudonym), a young gay man, was writing himself into view in the early days of the internet in Pakistan. He writes of living within Karachi's everyday frictions: counting the city's traffic, fighting with his mother, watching men from car windows, and learning what it means to desire in public while needing to remain safe. Unedited and raw, this volume preserves his writing as it was, from January to December 2003.
