Description

From the magic realm of a glass wharf to the sorrows of a community of wastelanders. From the visceral immediacy of filial bonds to memories that haunt, Naiyer Masud s fictional world is an experience. The Essence of Camphor, the first ever English translation of Masud s work, is evidently an example of Masud s unique and original style that is unparalleled.
