Does age ever catch up with the immortal? Listen in as Heer and Ranjha converse in whispered tones of a time that was; walk around with Lord Ram who has stepped out of the mosque compound, unable to cope with the frenzy of devotees who have installed him there; fly away to London, where the ageing Kasturi Lal Brahman struggles to let go of the idea of India; follow the travails of a ˜perfect couple` who compromise on everything that is decent to create the ˜perfect life` for themselves; listen to a dog who has walked off the pages of an author`s stories to engage him in discussion on the world he has left behind.

The Dying Sun collects eminent Urdu writer Joginder Paul`s stories of wonder, whimsy and wisdom. With elegant simplicity, Paul describes the journeys of his characters through myriad landscapes, from the tangible to the internal and the imagined. A pungent satire on liberalization, a mother`s plangent longing for her son, a playful take on an accountant`s obsession with a character in a TV serial as he copes with the drudgery of his daily life “ Paul`s writing encompasses worlds that defy the imagination.ISBN-9789350293546
