Huma Qureshi – “Books can be an escape from the harsh truth of reality”

Was writing an obvious pivot for you or was it something that came from an urgency to put your voice out there? 208pp, ₹499; HarperCollins Humour is the overarching tone of the novel, which never lets you even take the titular character Zeba seriously as a superhero. A lot of people are choosing suffering but humour is the best antidote; it allows you to live a better life. Because we see people as two binary gendered species, a lot of stereotypes become attached to them -- what they can and cannot do. Anish Gawande, Huma Qureshi and Bee Rowlatt at Jaipur Literature Festival 2025 This book was born out of the pandemic.
