Sacred and Profane
Fatima Bhutto and William Dalrymple
The Afghan born Pakistani writer, Fatima Bhutto, is a member of an elite and tragic political dynasty. Both her father, Murtaza, and her aunt, Benazir Bhutto, were murdered. Her book, Songs of Blood and Sword, is the story of her warrior caste family, her search to uncover the truth of her father's death and the history of the nation. William Dalrymple's Nine Lives is a distillation of his twenty-five years exploring India and writing about its rich cultural traditions. They discuss the co-existence of a deep seated spiritual life and the brutality and corruption of contemporary politics in today's sub-continent.
