Dear Readers,
While All Things Pakistan has remained alive and online, it has been dormant since June 11, 2011 - when, on the blog's 5th anniversary, we decided that it was time to move on. We have been heartened by your messages and the fact that a steady traffic has continued to enjoy the archived content on ATP. While the blog itself will remain dormant, we are now beginning to add occasional (but infrequent) new material by the original authors of the blog, mostly to archive what they may now publish elsewhere. We will also be updating older posts to make sure that new readers who stumble onto this site still find it useful.
We hope you will continue to find ATP a useful venue to reflect upon and express your Pakistaniat. - Editors
Naqvi wrote a novel that was boring as hell. His book launches were monotone, and I was so not impressed. Plus he can try and shed some of his unnecessary attitude away
Home Boy is the best book that’s come out of South Asia in the last ten years. It doesn’t rely on the whole South Asian fiction thing. It’s fresh, new, it’s absolutely brilliant.
Bought it. Read it. Recommend it.
To A’ATP fan’, so you did not like the book and therefore everyone else must also not…. WOW. speaking of ‘arrogance’, that takes the cake!
While it is commendable that Mr. Najam is patronizing HM Naqvi’s book, he should have done his ATP readers better justice in this review and promo. Naqvi wrote a novel that was boring as hell. His book launches were monotone, and I was so not impressed. Plus he can try and shed some of his unnecessary attitude away (some may call it arrogance). I am all for promoting and encouraging talent from Pakistan, but will need to speak up when we unduly promote mediocrity. Lets hold off on the Boston promos for now… please.
