Akhlaq Qureshi

Gripping narrative

Mumbai-based telecaster Taz Dhar receives a letter written by a stranger moments before his execution. The sender of the message appears to bear the improbable name: Armitage Shanks. Who was he? Where did he die? And why was he put to death? The story crosses four continents in a bleak work where those considered a threat to the even order of things can be spirit across borders and lost forever.

Beyond boundaries

Soaked in nostalgia for a bygone era, this tale recounts a Punjabi family's adaptation to a new nation and new ways of seeing the world. In many ways, it illustrates how migration shaped multicultural societies in the twentieth century, creating today's globalised world.
