  • 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.

  • Hiro Club News No
    HIRO CLUB NEWS For your cultural life in Hiroshima Shôgi (Japanese chess) 将棋 Shôgi ranks with Go among the traditional games of Japan. Two players take turns moving pieces on a board with 81 squares; the first to capture the opponent’s king wins. Not only it is popular game but there are also official rankings set by the Japan Shôgi Federation. Shôgi is very similar to chess. It is believed that both go back to the same Indian game which traveled to the West through Persia to become the basis of chess. Introduced into Japan through China around the 8th century, special rules were added, and it became what we now call shogi. The pieces are five-sided oblong tiles with the name of each piece in black characters on the face and red on the back. A special feature is that players can use captured pieces, setting them down anywhere on the board. Therefore you have to anticipate what the other player will do with a captured piece. Pieces that reach the opponent’s territory can be turned over and used in advantageous ways. <Pieces and how they are moved> è Ôshô (王将): One. Backward, forward, left, right and diagonally, one square at a time (like the king in chess) è Hisha (飛車): One. Backward, forward, left and right (like the rook) è Kakugyô (角行): One. Diagonally (like the bishop) è Kinshô (金将): Two. Diagonally in any direction except backwards, one square at a time. è Ginshô (銀将): Two. Forward, and diagonally one square at a time. è Keima (桂馬): Two.

The resulting intersections between literature and human rights, foregrounded by an overarching narrative of terror, have led to a new area of interdisciplinary enquiry broadly classed under human rights literature, at the point of the convergence of which lies the idea of human empathy.
