Bina Shah is one of Pakistan’s most prolific and popular authors. She is the author of four novels — “Where They Dream in Blue,” “The 786 Cybercafe,” “Slum Child” and “A Season for Martyrs” — and two collections of short stories. Her work has been published in English, Spanish, German, Chinese, Vietnamese, Urdu, Sindhi and Italian. She writes a monthly column for Dawn, the largest English-language newspaper in Pakistan, and a blog, 21st Century Woman. She has contributed essays to The Guardian, The Independent, the literary magazines Granta and Wasafiri, and the journal Critical Muslim. Her take on Culture and Feminism has caused controversy in a country where nearly 300 women were killed in honor killings in 2020. We discuss what Jordan Peterson doesn’t understand about the Patriarchy, why almost half the women in Pakistan have experienced physical violence and the major differences between Eastern and Western society.
