 ABOUT THE TITLE
Dr Iftikhar Ahmad is no doubt a Halloween Day born. In Ippy’s Chronicles, he brings forth ghosts and demons that we in Pakistan often forget or choose not to see. In the process, he conjures up a lively mix of his more than ordinary personal life, the stormy political and historical events and the evolving confusions that define our culture now. He has described his wholesome story in a way that it has become the story of Pakistan- a topsy-turvy, one-step-forward-two-backward journey to, well, nowhere. And he has written it in a style which is ‘unputdownable,’ perhaps introducing a new genre in native English literature.
You will find here the demons of autocrats Ayub Khan, Yahya Khan, Ziaul Haq gnawing at the roots of our society, the ghosts of Zulfiqar ali Bhutto, Indira Gandhi and Sheikh Mujibur Rehman resurrected in Halloween masks; the phantoms of politicians and civil bureaucracy wolfing down the vitals of Pakistan mercilessly. Ippy has drawn the sketch of some very serious issues in a very non-serious way. You may squirm, scorn, laugh or even cry while reading this but-one thing is sure- you will not be bored. Ippy’s bold imagination draws us to people and places where very few have ventured to tread in Pakistan.

About the Author:
Dr. Iftikhar Ahmad Khan has been blessed with God given opportunity to witness some important turning points in the history of Pakistan due to a vantage position of his family in power corridors. Eyewitness account in the form of a biography about some aspects of the time have been narrated, which are absolutely new for those who have an interest in the history of Indo-Pakistan subcontinent.
The stories unfurl in a manner that the reader is left glued to the book to eagerly read Dr. Iftikhar’s unique writing style.
An interesting book about Pakistan, which has been intelligently depicted in humour, passion and occasional lamentation, is a valuable addition to a new breed of writers emerging in the subcontinent.
He is the author of another book “Figment of Ippy’s imagination” which is composed of some marvelous, tenterhook, original unbelievable and abstract stories, which are generally disregarded as superfluous, unnatural or unbecoming.
