    was published in "Phundne" (Lahore: Maktabah-e Jadid) in 1955‚ the year of his death. The story is told by a reliable but not omniscient narrator who speaks as a Pakistani‚ and seems to be a Lahori. The narration is for the most part so straightforward that the narrator’s voice seems even naive (or faux-naif‚ depending on how we want to read it). The narrator reports to us with apparent matter-of-factness a series of events that are not quite as straightforward as they appear. The time frame‚ for

    you’ll be lost before you can flip the page. The specific uses of the two narrators (who are also the main characters) are one of the only things that I agree upon with Stasio. One of the narrators gives us his confused perspective of the main plot which only leads us to a red herring.
