内容説明・目次

内容説明

In this finely wrought memoir of life in postcolonial Pakistan, Suleri intertwines the violent history of Pakistan's independence with her own most intimate memories--of her Welsh mother; of her Pakistani father, prominent political journalist Z.A. Suleri; of her tenacious grandmother Dadi and five siblings; and of her own passage to the West. Nine autobiographical tales that move easily back and forth among Pakistan, Britain, and the United States. . . . She forays lightly into Pakistani history, and deeply into the history of her family and friends. . . . The Suleri women at home in Pakistan make this book sing.--Daniel Wolfe, New York Times Book Review A jewel of insight and beauty. . . . Suleri's voice has the same authority when she speaks about Pakistani politics as it does in her literary interludes.--Rone Tempest, Los Angeles Times Book Review The author has a gift for rendering her family with a few, deft strokes, turning them out as whole and complete as eggs.--Anita Desai, Washington Post Book World Meatless Days takes the reader through a Third World that will surprise and confound him even as it records the author's similar perplexities while coming to terms with the West. Those voyages Suleri narrates in great strings of words and images so rich that they left this reader . . . hungering for more.--Ron Grossman, Chicago Tribune Dazzling. . . . Suleri is a postcolonial Proust to Rushdie's phantasmagorical Pynchon.--Henry Louise Gates, Jr., Voice Literary Supplement
