| General note | Award-winning writer Syed Muhammad Ashraf is one of the most important<br/>contemporary practitioners of the Urdu short story. Often set in rural India, Ashraf’s<br/>animal stories are among the most unique and imaginative works of fiction being<br/>written today. This collection brings together the best of these tales<br/>of the wild, threaded through with a sense of foreboding and danger.<br/>In ‘Rogue’, three men set out in a jeep on a winter’s night to hunt a rogue elephant.<br/>When they least expect it, monstrous, shadowy shapes begin to materialize out of<br/>the thick mist their vehicle is stranded in. In ‘Death of an Antelope’, the ageing<br/>leader of a herd of blackbuck is challenged for his position by a young buck with<br/>fatal consequences. In three linked stories—‘The Hyena Laughed’, ‘The Hyena Cried’,<br/>and ‘The Silence of the Hyena’—the shadow of the hyena, one of the craftiest and<br/>most ruthless predators in the forest, is always present in the narrative about the<br/>lives of men and women who live on the edge of the jungle until man and animal<br/>become one. It is difficult to tell who is the more dangerous. And, in Musharraf<br/>Ali Farooqi’s translation of the novella Numberdar ka Neela (The Beast), the destinies<br/>of a blue bull and its owner, the village administrator, are intertwined—the fate of<br/>one will mark the other.<br/>Unsettling and electrifying, The Silence of the Hyena is storytelling at its best. |
