From the magic realm of a glass wharf to the shades and sorrows of a community of wastelanders, from the visceral immediacy of filial bonds to the ineffable intricacy of memories that haunt, Naiyer Masud's fictional world is a moving experience that involves all our senses. Intensely passionate, each narrative evokes the old-world charms of Lucknow. This book, the first ever selection in English translation of Masud's work, is evidence that his stories are not only unlike anything in contemporary Urdu fiction, but in Indian literature on the whole.
