MAPS FOR LOST LOVERS – Novel by Nadeem Aslam

At 13, he published his first Urdu story in a Pakistani daily. At the age of 14, he had to leave Pakistan for reasons related to his father’s political activity. NADEEM ASLAM – a British naturalized Pakistani writer – was born in Gujranwala in July 1966, becoming famous for his second novel: Maps for Lost Lovers (set in the middle of a Pakistani community immigrated to an English city, the novel won the prize Kiriyama). Emigrating to the United Kingdom, he studied Biochemistry at Manchester University, abandoning the studies because he was attracted to his artistic career.

In this novel full of stories of cruelty and ignorance, love shines at the edges of deep wounds. That is why the narrative is never weighted by all the pain it carries: there is so much sparkling joy within it. There are characters engraved on the one hand by racism and on the other by religious obscurantism, yet each has great potential. In the initial section of “Maps for Lost Loves“, the author writes: “The snow storm has rinsed the incense air, but is there even in the absence, drawing attention to its disappearance.” There, it is the very heart of the second novel written by Nadeem Aslam.
