The Blue, Red Lyrae Mehreen Ahmed

The Blue, Red Lyrea is a twin novella book, Offing and The Cheshire Grins. They have both been written in a stream-of-consciousness style. Either way both stories are tied like the constellations of the lyre of the deep skies. Hence, the title The Blue, Red Lyrea to mean the colours of two of five main constellations. Blue is indicative of hot and red, indicative of cold, an existential allusion to life, dancing at cosmic tune of a symbolic harp that Lyra stands for.
