Temporal thanks for the welcome- I In regards to the Zulfiqar Ghose interview. The interview was conducted by Asif Farrukhi for Dawn newspaper, and I posted it in its entirety on the Desilit blog (and not my personal blog) because Dawn does not tend to keep archives (at least ones I can find)--so won't be able to help you with a link. I will however do a cross post here of the interview. Thnx again- I look forward to contributing to PTH. Raza- you flatter me with this illustrious intro!

This anthology also had a blurb in Tehelka. http://www.tehelka.com/story_main37.asp?filename=Ws020208Being.asp I think there is some good writing coming out of Pakistan and/or by writers of Pakistani origin, and thankfully most of it is not about exotica and the identity crisis of Pakistani-Americans. thanks Raza.
