Bøger af Syed Murtaza Ali Shah

Writers are considered the hallmarks of a culture as they speak of and for the culture. At times, they may be credited with accolades. However, at the same time some are gifted notoriety under the garlands of "Enemies of Native Culture"; promoting a negative image of the land to appease the "funders". Pakistani English literati and authors are not exempted to the infamous title either. The leading reason, among many, is the region's nostalgia with the past values and the fear of being contaminated with apparently foul Western values. Implying, whenever the realistic portrayal is drawn of the social issues actually prevalent in the region; is discarded since it is against the glorified version of the reality. The book explores the issue with a particular concern towards presence of any authorial anxiety in producing the literature.
