M. Hameed Shahid
- محمد حمید شاہد کے ساتھ اکادمی ادبیات میں شام ملاقات
- Sarwat Ali|Fiction of our age
- The collection “Marg Zaar” is one of the best written on the 9/11 incident. The use of the local vocabulary in Hameed Shahid is commendable. Though he looks at the world beyond him while, his feet are firmly planted on earth. “Sovarg Mein Sour” (a pig in the paradise) is his representative story. [Iftikhar Arif]
- Hameed Shahid’s stories written in the backdrop of 9/11 have introduced a different genre in Urdu fiction and by doing this he has set an example for other writers to follow. Hameed Shahid’s short stories are woven well. They remind one of Baidi and Manto as far as the questions of self and identity are concerned. He has never lost touch with his soil and takes us back to days when values had certain place in our lives and people had an ear for a word of advice and goodness. [Prof Fateh Muhammad Malik]
- By writing these stories the writer had joined the ranks of outstanding fiction writer of Urdu. Hameed Shahid has experimented with diction, plot and different techniques of the story. [Mansha Yad]
- As critiques of our moral bankruptcy and hypocrisy Shahid’s stories are almost pitiless in their indictment. The fractured style and the frenzied pace give them considerable impetus. Stories like “Sovarg mein sour” and “Marg zaar” make a mockery of our autocratic establishment. [M. Saleem ur Rehman]
