THE TALES OF TAXI DRIVERS

Zaffar Junejo, an author and former NGO worker, is compiling a collection of stories from Karachi's taxi drivers spanning from 1993 to 2000. Inspired by the legendary scholar Muhammad Ibrahim Joyo, who suggested categorizing diary entries by theme and recalled a similar Sindhi journal initiative from 1955, Junejo organized his notes to capture the socio-political and cultural dynamics of Karachi through these narratives. The project will feature thirty-five stories, with five selected from each year, and the first installment includes two stories titled 'Jinnah Sahib,' 'Nothing,' and 'The Weight of the Boot.'
