Moazzam's Sheikh's sexually-charged tales unfold against a backdrop of colonization and ethnic tensions in Pakistan and the Middle East, and they also explore the immigrant's dilemma in the United States.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2nd volume in his San Francisco Quartet by the foremost South Asian American and San Francisco writer! It gave me enormous satisfaction though, to know that Aneela understood the nature of my love for her. Perhaps that's what kept me in the pursuit. I'd never believed that true love could be possessed. But it could be touched. Even kissed. Or else it turned into bitterness, a cactus growing inside one's body, and that's the last thing I wanted to carry with me into my old age. It didn't bother me a bit that she was with Mobeen, sleeping with him at will. I'd be fine if one day she woke up and left, I repeatedly told myself. It was obvious that I'd remember her no matter what, keep the memory of falling in love with her alive for as long as I could. I had to appreciate her awareness not of my feelings for her alone but the agony she caused my heart. Sadly, she was an expert at offering soothing words to keep the embers from dying. "I've not read anything quite like "Unsolaced Faces," with its scent of unrequited love, its flavor of deceit. In dense poetic language, Moazzam Sheikh explores possession and madness inherent in the pursuit of love, when ardor turns to anger, and devotion leads to desertion. This odyssey exploring sticky love and intellectual fulfillment in bohemian San Francisco will both seduce and confound you."--William Torphy, author of Motel Stories Fiction.

Book Synopsis A Footbridge to Hell Called Love by : Moazzam Sheikh
Download or read book A Footbridge to Hell Called Love written by Moazzam Sheikh and published by . This book was released on 2023-01-20 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First novella from Moazzam Sheikh's San Francisco Quartet, a slow motion walkthrough in pre-pandemic San Francisco. He couldn't tell her, not yet, but thought about it, wished he could, that when he made love to her, he resisted thinking about Manto's famous short story Thanda Gosht, fought off the image of the dead woman being fucked. That in turn made him revisit a rather mediocre French noirish film Icy Breasts, although the connections between the blue meat metaphor of the story and Alain Delon's cold stare thriller were a stretch of the imagination. He couldn't help it. He could never muster the courage to ask her whether she closed her eyes because she couldn't stand looking at his face or preferred conjuring up the image of someone in her past, lost in the crowd, someone dead. He allowed himself to marvel at the possibility that deposits of coldness could hide and survive even beneath the warm flesh. His sight ravished the ethereally lucid beauty of her face, his nose inhaling the micro smells of her freckled skin as his tongue and lips devoured the salt mines of her bruised terrain. He didn't know, couldn't know, behind the closed windows of her eyes, if she was soulful or icy. Mostly he believed that it was her, or most women's, way of focusing, not on the person but pleasure. To him pleasure was secondary to pleasing, but both were subservient to the person. His mind did wander, for all sorts of reasons but only fleetingly, for man is but an idea made of distractions and forgetfulness. Was he in love with her? Yes, he was, he could say. Was she in love with him? He couldn't be sure. No, he was certain, or was he? she wasn't, couldn't be in love with him. Did she love someone else? That's where things got complicated. They often talked about it, his love, her love, his love for her, her love for him and that's where things got twisted and hurtful and awkward. "Witty and wise, Sheik's novel follows the amorous adventures of Aslam Rana, adrift between women and literary rivalries in San Francisco--a comic yet probing tale of contemporary mores and the ultimate quest for connection."--Elizabeth McKenzie, author of The Portable Veblen Fiction. Asian & Asian American Studies. Middle Eastern Studies. Women's Studies.

Book excerpt: A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF 2020 "An exemplary work of investigative journalism." —Parul Sehgal, The New York Times The murder of a Pakistani social media star exposes a culture divided between accelerating modernity and imposed traditional values—and the tragedy of those caught in the middle. In 2016, Pakistan’s first social media celebrity, Qandeel Baloch, was murdered in a suspected honor killing. Her death quickly became a media sensation. It was both devastatingly routine and breathtakingly brutal, and in a new media landscape, it couldn’t be ignored. Qandeel had courted attention and outrage with a talent for self-promotion that earned her comparisons to Kim Kardashian—and made her the constant victim of harassment and death threats. Social media and reality television exist uneasily alongside honor killings and forced marriages in a rapidly, if unevenly, modernizing Pakistan, and Qandeel Baloch’s story became emblematic of the cultural divide. In this definitive and up-to-date account, Sanam Maher reconstructs the story of Qandeel’s life and explores the depth and range of her legacy from her impoverished hometown rankled by her infamy, to the aspiring fashion models who follow her footsteps, to the Internet activists resisting the same vicious online misogyny she faced. Maher depicts a society at a crossroads, where women serve as an easy scapegoat for its anxieties and dislocations, and teases apart the intrigue and myth-making of the Qandeel Baloch story to restore the humanity of the woman at its center.
