Published originally in the Kannada language between 1990 and 2023, praised for their dry and gentle humor, these portraits of family and community tensions testify to Mushtaq's years as a journalist and lawyer, in which she tirelessly championed women's rights and protested all forms of caste and religious oppression. Written in a style at once witty, vivid, colloquial, moving and excoriating, it's in her characters--the sparky children, the audacious grandmothers, the buffoonish maulvis and thug brothers, the oft-hapless husbands, and the mothers above all, surviving their feelings at great cost--that Mushtaq emerges as an astonishing writer and observer of human nature, building disconcerting emotional heights out of a rich spoken style. Her opus has garnered both censure from conservative quarters as well India's most prestigious literary awards; this is a collection sure to be read for years to come.]]></description><link>https://kawarthalibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S192C4887164</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://kawarthalibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S192C4887164</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mushtaq, Banu]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://kawarthalibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/4887164192</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Selected Stories</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781916751163/MC.GIF&amp;client=ontlibconbib&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
