Mirages of the Mind by Mushtaq Ahmed Yousufi
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1.2 MB
Overview: A hilarious and nostalgic account of twentieth-century Muslim life on the Indian subcontinent
Basharat and his family are Indian Muslims who have relocated to Pakistan, but who remain deeply steeped in the nostalgia of pre-Partition life in India. Through Mirages of the Mind’s absurd anecdotes and unforgettable biographical sketches―which hide the deeper unease and sorrow of the family’s journey from Kanpur to Karachi―Basharet emerges as a wise fool, and the host of this unique sketch comedy. From humorous scenes in colonial north India, to the heartbreak and homesickness of post-colonial life in Pakistan, Mirages of the Mind forms an authentic portrait of life among South Asia’s Urdu speakers, rendered beautifully into English by Matt Reeck and Aftab Ahmad.
