Recenzje

'Brought together for the first time, the stories in Haris Qadeer's wonderful collection incorporate at least half of India's official languages, from Bengali and Hindi to Telugu and Assamese. Taken together, these sparkling stories give the lie to widespread attempts to shunt Muslim women into the pigeonhole of victimhood.' - Claire Chambers, Professor of Global Literature, University of York.
