| The book reveals the stories of Pakistani women. Immigrants and refugees, established authors and new voices, the twenty-five writers in this collection are as innovative and diverse as their stories. Famed novelist Bapsi Sidhwa portrays a Pakistani community in Houston, Texas, still struggling to heal from the horrors of Partition. The author of what The New York Review of Books has hailed as impressive new fiction, Kamila Shamsie limns the harsh lives of Pakistan's poor in a portrait of a servant girl falsely accused of stealing jewelry from her mistress, who is also her best childhood friend. In Uzma Aslam Khan's short story, a man working in a Karachi auto body shop falls in love with a magical woman painted on the side of a bus. Humera Afridi follows a young woman as she desperately searches for a mosque in Manhattan in the aftermath of 9/11. Filled with nostalgic memories of Pakistan, critical commentary on political realities behind today's headlines, and optimism about the future, "And the World Changed" delivers a subtle, if unblinkered, portrait of Pakistan, its relation to the West, and the women who live in both. Authors: Talat Abbasi, Humera Afridi, Aamina Ahmad, Rukhsana Ahmad, Feryal Ali Gauhar, Sara Suleri Goodyear, Shahrukh Husain, Sabyn Javeri Jillani, Sonia Kamal, Fawzia Afzal Khan, Sorayya Khan, Uzma Aslam Khan, Maniza Naqvi, Tahira Naqvi, Nayyara Rahman, Hima Raza, Bushra Rehman, Fahmida Riaz, Roshni Rustomji, Sehba Sarwar, Bina Shah, Qaisra Shahraz, Kamila Shamsie, Muneeza Shamsie, and Bapsi Sidhwa. | |
