In this poignant and meditative collection of short stories, Zubair
Ahmad captures the lives and experiences of the people of the
Punjab, a region divided between India and Pakistan. In an intimate
narrative style, Ahmad writes a world that hovers between memory
and imagination, home and abroad. The narrator follows the pull of
his subconscious, shifting between past and present, recalling
different eras of Lahore’s neighbourhoods and the communities
that define them. These stories evoke the complex realities of
post-colonial Pakistani Punjab. The contradictions and betrayals of
this region’s history reverberate through the stories, evident in
the characters, their circumstances, and sometimes their erasure.
Skillfully translated from Punjabi by Anne Murphy, this collection
is an essential contribution to the wider recognition of the
Punjabi language and its literature.
