Dr. Nadya Chishty-Mujahid wrote a Pakistani college-based play in English. I had been thinking about the art of fiction and thought that an annotated version of the attached play would make for a good monograph-with detailed explanatory notes, a few translations.
Reviews
"The process by means of which creative non-fiction turns into fiction is fascinating, and I explored it by engaging in this endeavor; a number of the characters are based on my students and Dr Madeeha [in the cast of characters] is based on myself. The title Shatranj is the Eastern word for chess, which is a dominant theme in the play since it is about student politics, and the 16 student characters are aligned with major chess pieces of the black and white teams.”
