Iqbali Bayan

About this book

Iqbali Bayan is the engaging autobiography of celebrated Urdu fiction writer Ahmed Iqbal. Spanning roughly half a century, it recounts his personal struggles, literary career and experiences within Pakistan’s influential digest industry. His memories of Lahore, Rawalpindi, Peshawar and Karachi are interwoven with observations about writers, politics and the country’s changing social landscape. Written with wit and candour, the book functions as both an individual life story and an informal social history of Pakistan.
