Pakistani Urdu writer's oeuvre dipped in Indian nostalgia
Unlike his counterpart and celebrated Urdu writer Saadat Hasan Manto, Pakistani writer Intizar Husain's writings have distanced themselves from the gory details of partition and have, in fact, drawn from early memories of his stay in India. A window to his world is an anthology of his short stories that also reek of sorrow of many wasted opportunities.
Husain, popularly recognised as a living-legend in Pakistan, was not aggressive in his writings when it came to partition. The motifs he picked from this tragedy were of longing and nostalgia that he used repeatedly in his stories.
A reflection of these sentiments comes across strongly in the anthology "Intizar Husain: The Death of Sheherzad" (Harper Perennial: Rs.299) that is translated from Urdu by Rakhshanda Jalil.
For writer and author Jalil, the most challenging aspect of translating these stories was to keep the colloquial-style flavour of Husain's writings intact.
