-From the Foreword by Thomas Mullaney
In precise analytical prose and haunting lyrics, In Slender Gray Streaks: Verse and Prose from the Writings of Shahzad Najmuddin charts the journey of a traveler between two worlds: Pakistan and America, the world of the optimist and the world of the painful truth.
Najmuddin includes essays on artist Jean Metzinger's Soldier at a Game of Chess, which is exhibited in the Smart Museum of Art at the University of Chicago. He also tells a fable about a man and his wife living on the banks of the Brahmaputra River and the genocide committed there on the Bengalis in the war of 1971.
A haunting, lyrical collection, In Slender Gray Streaks beautifully showcases Najmuddin's writing talent.
