The characters in Kathleen Wheaton's linked stories are exiles-from their native countries, their families, their objects of desire. Political refugees from Argentina's "dirty war," survivors of a Cuban shipwreck and of Franco's Spain all navigate life as foreigners, whether in Madrid, Buenos Aires or suburban Washington, D.C. With wry, nuanced compassion, Wheaton follows these resilient people as they reconcile the absurdities of contemporary life with a legacy of dislocation, loss and longing.

Book Description
This anthology, Resident Alien and Other Stories is a unique collection by many standards. First, it is a creative work realized by erudite academics turned fiction writers, whose passion for the written word comes from the desire to explore contemporary cross-cultural and identity issues, through creating in the literary short story genre. Second, as literary luminaries they have paid close attention to style, for the technique of short fiction writing demands utmost attention to the craft of writing that is only second to the demands of poetry writing. Third, the collection spans a wide range of materials, from children's story, crime, feminism, love, sex and romance, poetry, rhetoric, ethnics and racism. Those are realistic subjects featuring directly lived experiences or experiences of people the writers have observed. Some of them are so real that they might annoy someone. However, the con-tributors request not to be liked or disliked for their work, but rather to be admired for their exploration of human drama and for their creative genius. Fourth, their stories are not stereotypical nor are they designed to prove something. On the contrary, they reflect the sheer complexity and complications of human communities across transnational borders. Despite the research that has gone into them, they are clear, lucid, believable, and authentic stories in which the characters drive the human narrative with their everlasting quality. We chal-lenge the reader to ascertain the stories that were written long ago and put away bidding the time and opportunity to be published, and those written recently, impetuously, as it were, to respond to the call for contributions to this anthology. Finally, this first fruit of the harvest season is a forerunner of the next collection and other collections in a series to come. Stay tuned!

The wax Statue and Other Stories

ISBN:
Category : Comics & Graphic Novels
Languages : en
Pages : 139
Book Description
THE WAX STATUE AND OTHER STORIES is a translated version of the short stories written by Jeelani Bano. She is one of the most reputed literary figures in SAWNET, known for her supremacy in exposing the flaws of society before the readers. Jeelani Bano keeps the pedal to the metal.Her stories are a mirror of the society of those days,which are relevant even today. Her stories like 'Moum ki Maryam' won great acclaim by the readers and literary men of that age. In her stories she explores the diaspora feelings and the exploitation of the poor. She is a critic of social evils, her vim and vigour portrays the misery and suffering of women in a male dominated society. Her stories are solely objective. She is never didactic in her tone and allows the readers to judge. Her approach is multidimensional and not a storm in a tea cup. Hence their translation into English will spread her message far and wide and serve the purpose of her writings. My aim in translating her short stories into English is to convey the message to the non Urdu readers and to enliven her literary talent in other languages.
