Re: Books you will not find on my shelves
I only purchased Umera Ahmed’s ‘La-haasil’ even when i hadn’t watched the drama and then someone gave me Peer e Kamil and after that I said she is monotonous and preachy. So no more Umera Ahmed.
After having bad experience with Abdullah Hussain’s ‘Udaas Naslen’ that I purchased some 10 years back and never finished (though people say its no 1 urdu novel), I never looked for Abdullah Hussain’s books. I liked dramatisatio n of his novel Nasheb but that was hard to read in novel form.
Mazhar ul Islam is said to be one of best Urdu short story writer in current time. I purchased his book ‘GuRia ki aankh se shehr ko dekho’ and never dare to go for his other titles.
The list is quite long, but I’ll stop by mentioning Maxim Gorki’s ‘The Mother’. Never tried communist literature after this blunder
hmm chalen, when you write your auto biography 90 saal ke hokar … send a free copy to all these writers (if they are still hayaat by then) and let them know how little they influenced you.
waise main mazaaq kar rahi thi, itna tafseeli jawab, nawab sahib!
