‘What The Hell And Other Stories’ definitely stem from the heart of Humra Quraishi whose writings appear akin to Thomas Hardy who felt that “happiness is but an occasional episode in a general drama of pain”. However, it is not pessimism, but blind optimism that runs through the 30 odd stories sending a clear message that each happy moment, not trauma, has to be enjoyed and preserved. Indeed in her characters, the whole generation can find its own realistic moorings. -CHARANJIT AHUJA Editor, Tehelka “Humra Quraishi writes from the heart. Her stories are infused with a sensitivity and self-awareness that continuously multiply in levels and layers.” -Shinie Antony, Writer-Columnist Cofounder, Bangalore Literature Festival “Humra Quraishi's powerful short stories depict the brutal indignities heaped upon the helpless, yoked in restrictive relationships and environments. Poignant tales of love and longing, are narrated against a backdrop of unease and ruthless killings. A few stories deal with the agony of seeing loved ones with dementia juxtaposed with memories of happier times. Each story is a journey that provokes thought, for its forthright truth overwhelms and lingers, long after the ending.” -Jayshree M. Tripathi Author-Poet and a dear friend “... Quraishi’s pluralistic approach captures the inevitable binaries - the stable pains and the alleviating comforts that shape every life, and render a distinctive essence to every ‘living’ journey.”
- An excerpt from ‘The Lives We Live’ by Priyanka Tripathi for Sahitya Akademi, Indian Literature.
