Intizar Husain is one of the foremost writers of the Indian subcontinent. The stories included in this collection chart Intizar's - as well as Pakistan's - literary journey since 1947. His is a perception of the rare artist, who can see and sense not only the obvious turmoils of his time but the hidden aches of ordinary people as well. His stories recall memories, which are both personal and collective, traveling back sometimes to the origin of a myth. He is always compassionate towards his characters, taking a swipe at the hypocrisy of power and status quo.Intizar Husain is preoccupied with the moral decline of human beings in the face of a changing urban landscape. A truly international writer, he remains unvanquished by the tyranny of borders.
