A book cementing reader’s ties with Intezar Hussain

Islamabad : The book ‘Intezar Dastan’ written by Dr. Fareed Hussaini presents summaries of Intezar Hussain’s seven collections of short stories and five novels.
Intezar Hussain’s writings deal with his childhood, the cafés and lanes of the cities where he lived, his past and present, myth, history, and dreams. He is the most prominent fiction writer, known for his stories woven around the experience of Partition and for his individual style.
Intezar Hussain loved shorter forms. His novella ‘Day’ captures the daily life in vivid details like the streets, temple, trees, flowers, color-changing chameleons and insects. His novella Dastan creates authentic narratives to revisit the tragic events of 1857 through surrealistic symbolism and mythological spin. One of his famous novels, “Basti” is against the backdrop of partition.
