The collision of literature, history and politics is fertile ground for writers. Author and film-maker Tariq Ali has made it his territory, and his provocative essays, The Protocols of the Elders of Sodom, cover a variety of world writers. Daniyal Mueenuddin's collection of linked stories, In Other Rooms, Other Wonders, 'marks the arrival of a highly sophisticated literary talent (The Guardian)'. His stories, compared with Chekhov when they appeared in the New Yorker, explore class, culture, power and desire among the ruling and servant classes of Pakistan. The writers read from their work and discuss common themes.
