I Giorni dell'Ibisco
Between the guitar sound of Bob Dylan and the sarangi mix East and West in nine extraordinary tales.
These nine stories come directly to the heart of the reader. Aamer Hussein fails to fuse with innocence and immediacy, philosophy and maturity, intelligence and sensitivity, the size of the intimate and personal players with political reality, the fate of the characters with the complex history of the world where they live.
Writing, both delicate and powerful, is full of strange images and original, unusually modern, yet deeply rooted in tradition and surrounded by a halo of magic. The universe cosmopolitan Hussein transcends categories such as "colonial," "postcolonial" or "third world".
Of Pakistani origin and training English Hussein introduces the structure, style and metaphors of modern Urdu literature in purely English stories, set in many different realities, from Pakistan to England, from Spain to Java.

Abstract
Between the guitar sound of Bob Dylan and the sarangi mix East and West in nine extraordinary tales.
These nine stories come directly to the heart of the reader. Aamer Hussein fails to fuse with innocence and immediacy, philosophy and maturity, intelligence and sensitivity, the size of the intimate and personal players with political reality, the fate of the characters with the complex history of the world where they live.
Writing, both delicate and powerful, is full of strange images and original, unusually modern, yet deeply rooted in tradition and surrounded by a halo of magic. The universe cosmopolitan Hussein transcends categories such as "colonial," "postcolonial" or "third world".
Of Pakistani origin and training English Hussein introduces the structure, style and metaphors of modern Urdu literature in purely English stories, set in many different realities, from Pakistan to England, from Spain to Java.
