Description
About the Book
This study journeys into the little-known reportage works of legendary Urdu writer Qurratulain Hyder, mapping the creative archives of memory, movement, and polyvocality that empowered her storytelling to transcend any imposed boundary--whether of genre, gender, religion, language, or nation-state.Book Synopsis
In a career spanning seven decades, Qurratulain Hyder (1927-2007) achieved distinction as a novelist, journalist, translator, and innovator in Urdu literature. To shed new light on this multilingual itinerant woman with a curatorial eye, the present study turns to Hyder's genre-bending reportage writing, which has not yet garnered the same scholarly attention as her majestic novels and short stories. At once autobiographical, admonitory, journalistic, and lyrical, these reportages offer glimpses of Hyder's multigenerational erudition, artistry, and mastery of Perso-Urdu poetic aesthetics, as well as the challenges she faced when breaking from histories freighted by patriarchal, colonial, and nationalist enterprises.Dimensions (Overall): 9.42 Inches (H) x 6.38 Inches (W) x 1.06 Inches (D)
