	Kamila_Shamsie
		Shamsie’s first novel In A City By The Sea too was set in Karachi and was from the perspective of Hasan, an 11-year-old boy, coping with the tensions of living in the rule of General Zia ul Haq.
		Shamsie who writes for The Guardian and Prospect magazine is carrying forward the lineage of her family.
		Her mother Muneeza Shamsie, is a critic, journalist and short story writer, who edited the anthology A Dragonfly in the Sun for Oxford University Press in 1997.

		Muneeza Shamsie is also the mother of Kamila Shamsie (pictured right), who seems to be a bit of a prodigy, having published four novels by the age of 32.
		According to Muneeza Shamsie's own biography of him here (a fascinating read, by the way -- this man has had an exciting life), Ghose's family left Sialkot for Bombay in 1942, and Ghose went to England to study in 1959.
		One thing Shamsie does not mention, however, is the question of people who may have been born in, say, East Pakistan, and then become redefined as Bangladeshis after 1971.

	DesiLit Daily: Muneeza Shamsie on Pakistani Literature in English
		Posted by: Amardeep at August 1, 2005 03:54 PM Posted on DesiLit last year (July 2005), Muneeza Shamsie's essay is more personal, as declared by her, than a piece to be read as objective history of the development of Pakistani literature in English.
		Shamsie is certainly right to note the general trend in fiction and in pointing out the new diasporic work in English that is also Pakistani.
		As Muneeza Shamsie quotes from this book in her anthology A DRAGONFLY IN THE SUN (1997), mentioned in the main post above, I have plodded through the HISTORY, thinking it to be the one-volume handy account of the subject.

		For that is how it happened: Kamila Shamsie, back home in Karachi on holiday from her teaching assignment at Hamilton College in upstate New York, is sitting in front of her computer screen, mesmerized, typing furiously, the last pages of her novel, “Salt and Saffron”.
		In the city by the sea (which also happens to be the title of her first novel) she brings Karachi to life with such deftness that it makes the city, known for its mohajirs and crime and Bhuttos instantly human.
		Shamsie argues: "I am not saying Pakistan was a mistake; but there was a lot of genuine pain associated with the partition which you cannot deny."

		For in this instance, the collection of short stories assembled and edited by Muneeza Shamsie is anything but a series of rants.
		In ‘Surface of Glass,’ Kamila Shamsie shows in just three pithy pages why she has been widely recognised as one of Pakistan’s leading young writers.
		Her unique voice and playfulness are striking as she employs a maid servant and her abrasive relationship with the cook to explore themes of personal usefulness and faith.
