Description

‘Hybrid Tapestries’ offers a comprehensive exploration of Pakistani English literature, charting its roots from pre-colonial and colonial times to the vibrant contemporary scene. Through detailed chapters on thirteen pioneering writers, including post-Partition authors like Shahid Suhrawardy and Ahmed Ali, to modern voices like Kamila Shamsie and Mohsin Hamid, this book delves into poetry, fiction, drama, and memoirs. It bridges the gap between writers in Pakistan and the diaspora, providing critical insights into the evolution of a national literature in English amidst diverse sociopolitical landscapes.
