Book Details
शिराज़ हुसैन की खासियत यह है कि उनको अपने अनुभव जगत का एक एक दृश्य और आवाज़ ऐसे याद है जैसे कल ही की बात हो। लूनर स्वाइल की कहानियों की बुनाई इन्हीं से हुई है। ये कहानियाँ पुरानी दिल्ली की बाशिन्दा हैं। इनका समय शिराज़ का बचपन है। इनमें ऐसा चुटीलापन और व्यंग्य है कि पढ़ते समय होंठों पर मुस्कराहट आए बिना नहीं रहती। शिराज़ गिटार बजाते हैं, अच्छी फिल्में देखते हैं और चित्र भी बनाते हैं। इन रोशन चीज़ों के असर से उनका लेखन भी जगमगाता हुआ है।
