Download or read book Street Singers of Lucknow and Other Stories written by Qurratulʻain Ḥaidar and published by . This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fascinating collection of short stories highlights the innovative genius of this iconoclastic writer as she moves from realism to the fabular, and from history to time-travel. In the title story, woven with social satire and melodrama, an itinerant entertainer becomes a well-known singer, eventually coming back to her Lucknow roots in a subdued, melancholy ending. A cast of characters entertain themselves with gossip and adultery in the lush tranquillity of the tea gardens of East Bengal. At the centre is a mercurial, identity-changing adventures, one who often appears in Hyder's fiction. Another is the memorable Eurasian, Catherine Bolton, who escapes her roots to achieve social success. This versatile writer takes imaginative native flight in unusual stories spanning decades, or even centuries. Her arsenal of techniques -- pastiche, satire, collage -- takes us to the place most important to her, the human heart in all its varied seasons.
