I am beyond thrilled to announce that my new book, "What Remains After a Fire" will be published by @wwnorton and is set to release next year. A massive thank you to my agents Lily Dolin and @agent_luck, and editor Huneeya Siddiqui for believing in my work!
As the Cornell case finally gets the attention it deserves, I’m bringing back something I posted years ago about another horrifying case where both victims took their lives.
Worth revisiting now.
14-year-old Daisy Coleman was raped, dumped by high school footballers.These are their faces. The charges were dropped and one of them is a student now. Their faces were blurred all through the documentary. Show their faces

What Remains After a Fire by Kanza Javed (2025)
A collection of short stories, this book is praised for its emotionally honest and often painful portrayals of Pakistani women both in Pakistan and abroad—confronting grief, love, displacement and societal restrictions. #BookReview

If 2025 had a reading pattern, it looked like this: finish, recommend, think about it, read again. Some stories simply refused to fade once the last page was turned. They stayed in conversations, resurfaced in memory, and found their way back into readers' hands.

Feeling very grateful to see these early responses to 'What Remains After a Fire.' Thank you to the readers, reviewers, and booksellers who’ve taken the time to read, reflect, and share their thoughts.
A haunting and powerful collection of short stories by an exciting new Pakistani writer.
Provocative, wise, and tender, What Remains After a Fire by @KanzaJaved is a collection about women united by their search for love and acceptance in a world governed by men.
