	Claudine Le Tourneur d'Ison: Hira Mandi (Buchtipp)
		Jeden Abend verlässt Chanwaz' Mutter geschminkt und aufgeputzt das Haus in Hira Mandi, einem Vergnügungsviertel in Lahore.
		Aus einem inneren Antrieb heraus beginnt er zu malen und konzentriert sich auf Porträts von Prostituierten in Hira Mandi.
		"Hira Mandi" ist mehr eine Romanbiografie als ein Roman, denn es gibt keine auf einen Höhepunkt zustrebende Handlung, sondern Claudine Le Tourneur d'Ison entwickelt das Lebensbild eines pakistanischen Malers und ein Gesellschaftspanorama vor dem Hintergrund der politischen Entwicklung in Pakistan von 1946 bis 2002.

	Lahore : A Sentimental Journey
		Grounded in memory and redolent with nostalgia, Nevile’s reminiscences transport the reader into the heart of Lahore as it was in the 1930s and 40s—a city bustling with activity where people coexisted harmoniously, unfettered by considerations of religion, region or caste.
		From the riotous seasonal festivities of kite-flying to clandestine love-affairs upon rooftops, from matinee shows at the cinema to twilight hours spent amongst the bejewelled dancing girls of Hira Mandi, Lahore emerges as a city of mesmerizing contradictions and chaotic splendour.
		The author underscores the contrast between pre- and post-Partition Lahore, and the sense of pain, loss and longing for one’s homeland experienced by the displaced millions in India and Pakistan is palpable.
