Review
        	
        	
        		
        			“Ali spins metaphors, re-establishes certain truths, shines a light on issues shrouded in ignorance. He enthralls, entertains, instructs. This is high art.”—Le Figaro“A richly woven tapestry that merits comparison with Naguib Mahfouz’s Cairo Trilogy.”—Kirkus Reviews“Tales of anguish, longing, lust, and love ... Ali paints a vivid picture of a fading world.”—New York Times Book Review“Grippingly well told, brilliantly paced ... a narrative for our time.”—Edward Said“If Pakistan is a land of untold stories, whispered conspiracy theories and closed-door mutinies, then thank heavens for Tariq Ali, whose access to its innermost secret chambers has made him the country’s finest historian and critic.”—Fatima Bhutto, New Statesman“All human frailty and nobility is here—an imaginative tour de force.”—Sunday Telegraph“Ali has satisfyingly and entertainingly concluded his Islam Quintet, a brilliant project unearthing the intellectual, sexual, artistic, and political histories heretofore kept out of mainstream conversation by both conservative Islamists and their former allies, and current enemies, in the West.”—Charles Demers, Georgia Straight“Ali pays perfect attention to detail, reminding the reader of the merits of Naguib Mahfouz’s Cairo Trilogy. Whether describing the bonds of friendship, the sights and sounds of Lahore or the state of Fatherland in the throes of a military dictatorship, the writer’s grip on detail never slackens.”—Karachi Herald“Offers great insight into the history and culture of the Muslim world.”—Mark Knoblauch, Booklist“Wonderfully exuberant and mischievous... [a] jewel box of a novel.”—Aamer Hussein, Independent“A novelist of distinction ... Ali offers a persuasive account of the corruption of contemporary Pakistan, especially the brutal sexual politics, and his wry, ruminative account of lifelong friendship rings with truth.”—Michael Arditti, Daily Mail
