KARACHI: Conversations with two writers stood out on the last day of the Karachi Literature Festival on Sunday. First, when Noman Naqvi sat down with Indian author Ashis Nandy and the second Aliya Iqbal Naqvi’s chitchat with novelist Mohammed Hanif.
Mr Nandy called himself an intellectual street-fighter, someone who liked to break certitudes. “I deal in continuation, I don’t deal in disjunctions. The contemporary world loves disjunctions,” he said arguing that there’s another language spoken by the people outside our domain. If someone praised Michelangelo as a great artist, it would have surprised him because he lived in a time when he thought he was the person through which art was created, he articulated.
