Reflective of talent of new Pakistani writers

186

The anthology is a testament to the talent of new writers from Pakistan. This collection of stories – written for a story-writing competition arranged by the publishers – is based on the idea that everyone has a good story to tell. These stories, written by many individuals separately, together chronicle the human spirit.

There are four themes, ‘Paved and Unpaved Ways’, ‘The Meaning of Me’, ‘Because this is what Matters’ and ‘The Bravest Place on Earth’. There are stories of kindness and empathy, social injustice – and a real sense of belief and hope for a better future.

The editor of the anthology is Maniza Naqvi, an established writer in her own right with her works including four novels, Mass Transit, On Air, Stay with Me,and A Matter of Detail, and a book of short stories Sarajevo Saturdays. She has also compiled and edited Festival! for the Karachi Literature Festival 2012.

This anthology will be a welcome addition to school libraries, especially schools that offer extended reading for their students in O and A level study programmes.
