b'Aamina Ahmad, Uzma Aslam Khan, NoViolet Bulawayo, Lance Knobel

Three supremely talented writers with a global perspective will open our eyes to historical and contemporary cycles of oppression and resistance. Booker Prize finalist NoViolet Bulawayo (\\u201cWe Need New Names,\\u201d \\u201cGlory\\u201d) has constructed a postcolonial fable in which animals stand in for humans. Uzma Aslam Khan\\u2019s \\u201cThe Miraculous History of Nomi Ali\\u201d is set in the Andaman Islands during the Japanese occupation of WWII. And Aamina Amhad (\\u201cThe Return of Faraz Ali\\u201d) explores the social labyrinths of Lahore through the eyes of a displaced man.
