Reviews

"It's just such a paradoxical pose, at once insular and international, Islamist and secular, that befuddles those outside Pakistan's porous borders, and which is at the crux of Hanging Fire, a survey of contemporary art from a nation known more today for automatic-weapons fire than the arts and humanities."—Tim Kindseth, Time Magazine (Review of the Asia Society exhibition)

". . . elegant book. . . . Highly recommended." —D. K. Dohanian, Choice

'Substantially useful as a reference, and stimulating and enjoyable as a read in itself.' — Susan Platt, The Art Book
