nIn Heart Lamp In Heart Lamp, Banu Mushtaq exquisitely captures the everyday lives of women and girls in Muslim communities in southern India. Publisherd originally in the Kannada, these portraits of family and community tensions testify to Mushtaqâs years as a journalist and lawyer, in which she tirelessly championed womenâs rights and protested all forms of caste and religious oppression. Written in a style at once witty, vivid, colloquial, moving and excoriating, itâs in her characters â the sparky children, the audacious grandmothers, the buffoonish maulvis and thug brothers, the oft-hapless husbands, and the mothers above all, surviving their feelings at great cost â that Mushtaq emerges as an astonishing writer and observer of human nature, building disconcerting emotional heights out of a rich spoken style. Her opus has garnered both censure from conservative quarters as well Indiaâs most prestigious literary awards, this is a collection sure to be read for years to come.
