- Summary:
- For politicians and social scientists the fiftieth year of Pakistan's independence will be a time for stocktaking, a time to decipher and decode the country. An alternative view of history emerges, however, from the work of the country's fiction writers. Drawn from all the major languages of Pakistan, this anthology is an attempt to read the country through its fiction.
