Ganji Bar - Tahira Iqbal


I have just finished reading short stories book "Ganji Bar" written by Tahira Iqbal. Nice work, broad vocabulary, her work reminded me of the experiment Mustansir did in Bahao with language. In her case, it didn't go very well with me..... 


She tried to accommodate many phrases which wasn't great idea especially when they were very local. It limited the scope and reach to broader audience.


Good book though...
