Published in 1899, Muhammad Hadi Ruswa's famous novel, "Umrao Jaan
Ada, " created a sensation when it came out, with its candid
fictionalized account of Umrao Jaan, based on a renowned Lucknow
courtesan and poetess of the same name. Considered by many as the
first Urdu novel, it remains highly popular today, and has been the
basis for three films and a Pakistani television serial. But
despite Ruswa's notoriety, few know that a month after he wrote
"Umrao Jaan Ada," Ruswa penned a sly novella entitled
"Junun-e-Intezar, " in which "Umrao" avenges herself on her
creator, Ruswa, by narrating the story of his life. Blurring the
lines between truth and fiction, narrator and character, this
clever narrative strategy gives the courtesan a voice.
