Jazeera-e-Sukhanwaran / جزیرہ سخنوراں Reviews

I must confess this novella left me completely underwhelmed. Inspired by A Voyage to the Island of Articoles by the French Writer André Maurois (to be continued)

Ghulam Abbas's humorous literary fantasy about the lives of Urdu poets. Unlike his short stories,many of which are memorable,I found this book a struggle to finish.It bored me.
