"A revolutionary poet awaits death in jail in Pakistan after being falsely accused of murder. The novel describes life in Pakistani jails, including ritual floggings performed much like a ballet. The novel is set in the 1970s, shortly after General Zia's coup d'etat against Ali Bhutto, the father of the present prime minister."@en . "Fiction"@en . . . "Bandīwāna <engl.>" . . . . . .
