“Rich, resonant and lyrical, NOOR is a novel which
tackles, unflinchingly, the legacy of war, and . . .
makes of great suffering a work of beauty.
Sorayya Khan has written a powerful and
haunting novel, and a wholly original book.”

- Claire Messud     

“Richly layered, eminently readable, FIVE QUEEN'S ROAD unfolds with a poignancy and veracity that will haunt the reader as it did me.”

- Bapsi Sidhwa     

An essay in which Sorayya details the process and research of her novel, Noor, will be published in MANOA, a literary journal, in 2012.

Sorayya will be a participant in the Karachi Literary Festival in Pakistan on February 11-12, 2012.

Sorayya will be visiting Whitman College the week of April 23, 2012 for a public reading and workshops as the Donnell Visiting Educator in Global Studies.

Liliana Sikorska published her interview with Sorayya, "Looking at the Light," in Studies in Literature in English, Peter Lang, 2011.
