Heart Lamp: Selected Stories
by Banu Mushtaq
beautifully raw and sophisticated writing, but only four stars because i found myself overwhelmed during certain stories. i feel as though the full essence of the story was lost through the process of translation, which is common in most cases and i truly wish i knew how to read the untranslated version. i think i was a little biased towards giving this a higher rating because i found myself relating closely with characters, not particularly to the same or even similar experiences but understanding the suffering of the characters
