By The Autumn Trees: Based On True Events

Description

THE NATION
By the Autumn Trees greatly explores human emotions as they tread through the crests and troughs of life's journey. Having spent 27 years in the Pakistan Army, the author pens stories enriched down short profound with themes, imagery and a pristine expression. The book creates new avenues for researchers and students of literature as it experiments with language and employs a linguistic facility that incorporates words from Urdu and Punjabi in order to promote the concept of linguistic hybridity, chutnification and polyglossia. The words have been carefully used in order to help the foreign reader to interpret the meaning in tandem with his own understanding. The author's style is contemporary and his expression is unpretentious; he employs words from regional Pakistani languages without any jarring phrases, which lend semantic and lexicographic strength to the literary style and structure of these short stories. The Nation
SOUTHASIA
The twelve short stories are not only thematically exoteric, but are also spread over a wide array of themes, ranging from the lushness of companionships built on love and trust, the roller-coaster ride from a comforting life in the mother's arms to the insurmountable training at the Military Academy.
One of the beautiful things about the book is the idea that with each short story, the reader feels connected to the writer in terms of discovering the organic rhythm that drives each theme.
In almost all the stories, the author enthralls the reader into understanding how substantial topics of life such as love, death, betrayal, friendship, mediocrity, technology, family and patriotism can be explored in a non-academic setting. It would be unjust to not state that this is indeed a book with themes that resonate with the impulse of a reader who desires to unlearn everything in order to learn again.
