Basti by Intizar Hussain, part of the New York Review Books Classics series, is a haunting exploration of memory, displacement, and the trauma of partition. The novel centers on the character of Zakir, who reflects on his past life in a Pakistani village, now altered by the political upheavals of the 1947 partition. As Zakir grapples with the loss of his ancestral home and the breakdown of societal structures, the narrative weaves together themes of nostalgia, identity, and the complex relationship between history and individual lives. Hussain’s poetic prose and deep cultural insights make Basti a timeless meditation on migration and belonging.
