About INTO THE SUN: When a car explodes in Kabul ten years after 9/11, a journalist discovers that its passengers—three fellow expats—had formed an unlikely love triangle. As the journalist learns more, the narratives of their lives become inseparable from the story of America's imperial misadventures.
