The Other in the Mirror is a collection of “twenty stories from India and Pakistan that gave a more significant meaning to the notions of compassion, kindness, tolerance, co-existence and non-violence.” Described as Manto-esque, this unique collection features originally written pieces by a diverse range of celebrated contemporary authors from both countries, including Gulzar, Anushka Ravishankar, Shazaf Fatima Haider, Farrukh Nadeem and Ranjit Lal, that deal with themes such as the partition, loss, boundaries, divides, and discrimination through warm, inspirational, heart-rending and enthralling storytelling.
The result of collaboration between authors, translators and academics across the subcontinent, The Other in the Mirror deals with timeless themes still relevant today.
