A look back at recent issues on the Indian sub-continent.
"If the partition of India is associated with midnight (as in Salman Rushdie’s Midnight’s Children), Aatish Taseer’s temporal territory is the opposite time: his characters are dealing with partition’s reverberations over the decades...In both form and content, Tasser movingly evokes the heartbreak of a nation, conveying with great acuity ahat happens when the ground beneath our feet is shaken to its core." Anitha Sethi, The Independent.
