The Beast (BP) By: Syed Muhammad Ashraf
Beyond that, it is a fable of our troubled times, packing murder-mystery, puzzle, and myth into a hundred pages laced with humour. Syed Muhammad Ashraf's contemporary classic is brilliantly translated by Musharraf Ali Farooqi, author of The Adventures of Amir Hamza, Tilsm-i-Hoshruba and The Story of a Widow.
