The Eastern Brew is a translation of some selected Urdu short
stories written by prominent writers from India and Pakistan. These
stories are as varied in their subject matters as they are in the
assortment of writers presented in this anthology. The selection is
not incidental or impulsive but premeditated and is based on
careful consideration. It encapsulates almost fifty years of Urdu
short story writing from both sides of the border, representing the
vicissitudes of life and times during the years of drastic
political and social changes and the struggles and conflicts,
psychological or otherwise, of characters living through those
tumultuous times. Though it is not possible to collect the works of
representative writers of Urdu fiction spanning more than two
generations in a short anthology of fifteen stories, an attempt
has, nevertheless, been made to bring before the English readers
the various threads of human relationships, social, personal, and
psychological, that weaved or warped the life of characters in the
exciting stories in this collection. The anthology thus provides to
the readers of other languages an insight into the changing
patterns and concerns of Urdu literary art during a span of two
generations and the life and times of people in the subcontinent
living through the change.
