Dalla quarta di copertina

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 Pakistan from megacities to isolated villages, from feudal landlords to servant girls and 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 presences sometimes 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.
