Animal Medicine is a collection of ten unsual short stories, each with its own unique interpretation on life in Pakistan. Based on the strong subcontinental tradition of folklore and storytelling, the meeting of human and animal is the backdrop for an incredible variety of observations, reflections, and revelations about this rich yet enigmatic country. From the beautiful but harsh terrain of the north, to the fertile lands of the south, from the densely-packed streets of Karachi, to the new horizons of America, these tales chronicle, with sensitivity and wit, compassion and humour, a land and its people that are like no other on this earth.
