![]() ![]() Author: Hyder Qurratulain, Hussein Aamer (INT) Publisher: New Directions Championed by Salman Rushdie in The New Yorker, Qurratulain Hyder is oneof the “must reads” of Indian literature. Fireflies in the Mist is Hyder’s capstoneto her astonishing River of Fire, which was hailed by The New York Review ofBooks as “magisterial with a technical resourcefulness rarely seen before inUrdu fiction.” Fireflies follows the creation of modern day Bangladesh — from Indian province, to Partition, to the emergence of statehood — as told through theimpassioned voice of Deepali Sarkar and others around her who live throughthe turbulence. Hyder perceptively and majestically follows the trajectory ofSarkar’s life — from her secluded upbringing in Dhaka to becoming a socialistrebel and to her ultimate transformation as a diasporic Bengali cosmopolitan —in the way that many of yesterday’s revolutionaries are slowly but surely ensnared within a net of class and luxury dangled in front of them. € 14,30

![]() ![]() Author: Hussein Aamer; Lo Turco B. (cur.) Publisher: Caravan Edizioni Mehran Malik racconta la sua vita fra Pakistan, India, Londra e Roma: le complicate trame famigliari, gli studi e la passione per le lingue e le letterature orientali, l'abbandono del Pakistan, amori dolorosi ma permeati dalla poesia. Aamer Hussein autore indo-pakistano dà vita a Mehran affidandogli, come a un nuvolo messaggero, le sue storie: un romanzo di formazione in cui emerge la condizione di migrante, alla ricerca di un luogo verde e piovoso che è sempre lontano. Una visione esotica dell'Occidente si alterna alla nostalgia per una casa che, nell'universo famigliare di Aamer/Mehran, può esistere solamente nella poesia; intanto i legami si formano e si dissolvono aprendo e chiudendo cicli affettivi, quasi come il movimento delle onde di un mare di cui in lontananza si scorge sempre il colore. Linguaggi e culture si annodano in una danza delicata: le storie incedono intrecciandosi come trame di un racconto orale, ci avvolgono come il profumo di un mercato in Oriente, ci smarriscono nel dedalo di culture e di lingue della Londra di oggi, ci travolgono come il dolore per la perdita di un amore. Ci portano via inseguendo, con lo sguardo al cielo, un nuvolo messaggero. € 12,50
