Priya Banerjee is dead, but her life is far from over. She has just three days left to roam the earth before she can go on to the 'Waiting Room' of spirits. As she reluctantly watches and listens to her family, Priya is guided by a droll and increasingly impatient immortal soul in the guise of her Bollywood idol, Dilip Kumar. Reflecting on her life, she is driven to face unresolved relationships and suppressed events before she finally chooses to intervene. Winner of the 33rd John Whiting Award for new writing.
