We asked around what Pakistani authors are loving and reading, or what changed their lives. Here is a brief roundup of their reads and possible recommendations!
Sanam Maher, author The Sensational Life of Qandeel Baloch, A Woman Like Her
“I love Richard Lloyd Parry’s The People who Eat Darkness and Jon Krakauer’s Under the Banner of Heaven. Also, Fatima Bhutto’s The Runways”
Mohsin Hamid, author Exit West, Moth Smoke
“Nassim Nicholas Taleb’s Antifragile really made me think about how I think.”
Shandana Minhas, author Tunnel Vision, Rafina
“Reading only one book is always a terrible idea. Nobody reads the same book, even if they read the same pages. The right book for X will not be the right one for Y.“
Sabyn Javeri, author Nobody Killed Her, Hijabistan
“Ismat Chughtai, Rasheed Jahan, Manto, Hanan Al-Shaykh, Margaret Atwood, Doris Lessing are some of my favourite writers and I would recommend that people read their books.”
Shazaf Fatima Haider, author How It Happened, Fire Fly In the Dark
“Musharraf Ali Farooqi is my all-time favourite. I greatly enjoy the writing of Shandana Minhas and I genuinely think she is one of the best writers of her generation.”
Kamila Shamsie. author Burnt Shadows, Kartography
“A novel called All Dogs Go to Heaven by Beth Brown, which I read when I was 11, and which persuaded my best friend and me to co-write a novel about our (recently departed) pet dogs. I haven’t stopped writing novels since.”
