Summary

Ahmed Nadeem Qasimi is a major figure in the Urdu contemporary literary scene. The fifteen stories contained in The Old Banyan reveal the work of a writer who has observed the lives of people around him, more often in rural settings, with the eye of a shrewd observer, albeit a sympathetic and compassionate one, and has found them worth celebrating in his fiction.
