Mirages of the Mind, Yousufi (Penguin-India; New Directions, 2015)

Translated with Aftab Ahmad, this book by the famous Pakistani satire writer Yousufi is unlike anything written in European languages. An epic trip in South Asian cultural sensibility, at times hilarious and at times heartbreaking.

Translation supported by a PEN-Heim Fellowship.
