Produktbeschreibung

Advance Praise for In Other Rooms, Other Wonders:

Astonishing . . . reveals a writer who seems to combine the intimate rural rootedness and gentle humour of R.K. Narayan with the literary sophistication and stylishness of Jhumpa Lahiri. . . . In Other Rooms, Other Wonders is quite unlike anything recently published on the Indian side of the border, and throws the gauntlet down to a new generation of Indian writers. For the first time in this part of Asia, there is serious competition out there.William Dalrymple, Financial Times

A stunning achievement. This superb collection ranges across a vast swath of contemporary Pakistanfrom megacities to isolated villages, from feudal landlords to servant girlsand such is its narrative power that I couldn't stop turning the page. Daniyal Mueenuddin is a writer of enormous ambition, and he has the prodigious talent to match.Mohsin Hamid, author of The Reluctant Fundamentalist

A blazingly good writer. He brings to vivid and compelling life a country and its people.David Davidar, author of The Solitude of Emperors

Daniyal Mueenuddin's Pakistanis are like Chekhov's Russians, so fully realized that we never wonder over what motivates them. They are living, breathing presencessometimes brought so close that, I daresay, you hear the sounds of their breathing and the roll of gravel under their feet. In Other Rooms, Other Wonders brings us a new way of seeing the world, and it is one that we could not have anticipated.Elizabeth Evans, author of Carter Clay

'In Other Rooms, Other Wonders may be fiction but it is of such an authentic stamp that it is history as well, more so by the day, and deserves to be read as such' The Times
