Trading Light

In today's financial markets, trading floors on which brokers buy and sell shares face-to-face have increasingly been replaced by lightning-fast electronic systems that use algorithms to execute astounding volumes of transactions.

Everything you own sat in a warehouse before it was yours. Shops are closing. Warehouses are not. As commerce moved online, the least glamorous building in property quietly became the most dependable thing an individual can own. But a warehouse is not one thing. A big distribution shed. A trade counter. A small multi-let estate. A half-showroom, half-storage unit with its own car park. These are entirely different investments, with different tenants, different risks and very different returns — and the one most first-time buyers chase is the one they should leave to the institutions. ...

In the Shadow of the Red-Light is a hybrid literary work that blurs the boundary between documentary and fiction, cinema and novel, testimony and narrative. Set across the trafficking corridors of South Asia, from poverty-stricken villages in Bangladesh to the brothels of Mumbai, from Nepal’s theatre stage to the brutal sale of virgins in India’s red-light underworld, from Colombo's fragile dreams to Pakistan's underground pornography rings, the novel traces the interwoven fates of women and children lured, sold, and trapped within the global sex trade.
