Review Quotes
"Like other short story writers who master their craft, Imran Riffat has created a collection of memorable characters facing life-defining questions in his My Heart, My Traveler. Their unique ethical dilemmas and cultural settings are revealed through vignettes and a form of fable. The characters he has formed in these stories, both from his acquaintance and from his imagination, face individual challenges with universal meanings. Each story is a short engagement with long-lasting lessons about living a life of integrity at home and in the larger society." -Dr. Robert A. Scott, President Emeritus and University Professor Emeritus, Adelphi University
"Imran Riffat's deeply felt writing shows us an honest look at humanity in all its forms. His voice based on many of his own experiences and his humanistic perspective are needed now more than ever." -Veera Hiranandani, Author & Winner of Newbery Honor Award
"My Heart, My Traveler is so much more than an elegantly written, heartfelt collection of stories. Drawing on experiences from his childhood in Lahore, Pakistan, moving to New York as a young man and traveling the world as an international banker, Imran unravels the inevitable knots of cross-cultural perspectives and perceptions with a grace and wisdom only a true citizen of the world could produce." -Daria Sommers, Writer and Filmmaker
