It has been revealed in much of his work that a strong line ran from Sufi poets such as Rumi and Hafiz through Em- erson’s own corpus of essays, prose and poetry. In fact, it is now apparent that Em- erson was the first so-called Western author to have incorporated—indeed, to have been immensely influenced by—those and other ‘seers and sayers’ of the East. His translations of Hafiz and others, as well as his juxtaposition of Persian verse with his own, are clear indications that Emerson drew his muses from a deep and distant wellspring

  • Daniyal Mueenuddin's in Other Rooms, Other Wonders Reviewed
    Pakistaniaat: A Journal of Pakistan Studies Vol. 2, No. 1 (2010) Daniyal Mueenuddin’s In Other Rooms, Other Wonders Reviewed by Sohomjit Ray In Other Rooms, Other Wonders. Daniyal Mueenuddin. New York: W. W. Norton, 2009. 247 pages. ISBN: 978-0-393-06800-9. Should Daniyal Mueenuddin’s debut collection of short stories, In Other Rooms, Other Wonders (2009) be considered a part of Pakistani literature, or should it be considered a part of the American literary landscape, already so enriched by the writers of South Asian diaspora? Salman Rushdie’s inclusion of the first story in the collection (“Nawabdin Electrician”) in the anthology entitled “Best American Short Stories 2008” by no means settles the question, but provides a useful frame in which to discuss it. The consideration of the question of nationality with regards to literature (it is fully debatable whether such a thing can be said to exist, although that debate is well beyond the scope of this review), of course, generates another very pertinent one: is the question important at all? In response to the latter ques- tion, one needs only to look at the reviews of the book published in a few of the renowned American newspapers to realize that the question is important, and also why. Dalia Sofer notes in her review of the book in The New York Times that “women in these stories often use sex to prey on the men, and they do so with aban- don at best and rage at worst — in this patriarchal, hierarchical society, it is their sharpest weapon” and that “the women are not alone in their scheming.
