Her characters mount battles with loneliness and in their fight reveal surprising vulnerabilities and an astonishing measure of hope.  \nSet primarily in Pakistan, these award-winning stories follow people living on the brink of abandonment – in their personal relationships and their place in the world. A mother, coping with the sudden death of her son, uncovers long buried secrets in his absence. An anguished girl grabs a chance for alife beyond the orphanage walls where she lives and discovers the price of freedom. A young couple tries to keep their fraught relationship steady as a heat wave engulfs their city. Ason returns to visit his ageing parents while beset with memories of a troubled childhood. And two thieves find themselves in a situation more precarious by the minute, and more dangerous than their original mission.  \nFarah Ali is from Pakistan. Her work has been nominated for the 2020 Pushcart Prize as well as received special mention in the 2018 Pushcart anthology. Her stories can be found in Shenandoah, The Arkansas International, The Southern Review, Kenyon Review online, Copper Nickel, and others.  \nPraise for Farah Ali:  \n“Farah Ali writes with a precise and profound understanding of the most vital dimensions of the human experience, and these stories illuminate how connection can be found in even the bleakest moments. PEOPLE WANT TO LIVE is the work of a thrilling and essential new voice.”  \nLaura van den Berg, author of The Third Hotel and I Hold a Wolf by the Ears  \n“Farah Ali’s astonishing debut collection brings to life a place and people with the skill and emotional honesty of a master craftsman. But it is her Chekhovian political conscience–her respect for individuals caught in the push and pull of bigger forces–which makes these stories so powerful. One is left with a greater and deeper sense of humanity for reading them. A truly remarkable book.”  \nBrian Castleberry, author of Nine Shiny Objects  \nAGENT: Chad Luibl Publication: Spring 2024  \nMaterial Available: Unedited Manuscript Word Count: 64,000  \nRights Sold:  \nUS (Dzanc Books)  \nWANTS AND NEEDS Farah Ali  \nWANTS AND NEEDS is a poignant and powerful literary debut following the breakup of a Pakistani family in the face of poverty and climate disaster, and their indefatigable search for stability, love, and belonging.  \nTold in rotating perspectives spanning from 1966 to 1998, WANTS AND NEEDS is an intimate portrait of a family unraveling in the throes of indigence, and a tribute to the wounded love that keeps them tethered to each other.","cbCaikfOlnqN36TQ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikfOlnqN36TQ","pdf",8010328,1,164,"English","en",105,"# Literary Fiction\n## People Want to Live\n## Wants and Needs\n## Bad Thoughts","[{\"question\":\"What is People Want to Live about?\",\"answer\":\"People Want to Live is Farah Ali’s debut collection of fourteen stories set primarily in Pakistan, exploring togetherness, reckless faith, loneliness, and unexpected vulnerabilities and hope.\"},{\"question\":\"How is Wants and Needs structured and what themes does it emphasize?\",\"answer\":\"Wants and Needs follows the breakup of a Pakistani family amid poverty and climate disaster, told through rotating perspectives from 1966 to 1998, focusing on instability, love, belonging, and compassion amid hardship.\"},{\"question\":\"What kind of stories are in Bad Thoughts?\",\"answer\":\"Bad Thoughts is an exhilarating debut story collection that uses comedic precision and irreverence to explore surreal, inadmissible fantasies of contemporary women while wrestling with modern reality.\"}]","Janklow Foreign Rights Literary Fiction -
