An entrepreneur in Bosnia, a ghost in the elevator, a deaf-mute father who dies yearning for his son’s acceptance, a fantastical kingdom of people without tongues, a young girl on the threshold of marriage and death – this collection of stories takes us through the strange and often twisted realities that shape our lives. We meet the pragmatic Dina Lal who trades religion for safety in anti-Hindu Pakistan, a still-dignified Narjis on her last journey while her child sleeps in the arms of her jailor, and several others – young and old, male and female – as they wrestle with the dile mmas of conflicting cultures and ideologies.
An eclectic mix of thirteen stories by Pakistan’s finest women writers, Neither Night Nor Day explores milieus both old and contemporary and exposes, in the process, the underbelly of a society where the spectres of history continue to chase time.
