Ahmed Ali (1910-1994), multitalented, bilingual writer, poet, scholar, translator, critic, and anthologist, is one of the stalwarts of South Asian literature.

A founder of the All-India Progressive Writers` Association and best-known for the classic portrait of Delhi, Twilight in Delhi (1940), Ali`s life and work is informed by a tremendous idealism that inspired a whole generation of writers and intellectuals. As a literary figure, he epitomized a compelling cosmopolitan sensibility and opened up the South Asian literary milieu to the West, easily bridging East-West boundaries through his translations, modernist outlook, and anti-parochial stance.
In The Two-sided Canvas, Mehr Afshan Farooqi introduces us to Ali`s bilingual creative genius and brings together a cornucopia of biography, interviews, and critical essays by eminent scholars like Shamsur Rahman Faruqi, Carlo Coppola, Ahmad Hal-Rahim, and Snehal Shingavi among others, which shed fascinating light on Ali`s literary oeuvre as well as a critical period of history that saw the demise of British colonial rule in India. With rare archival material, this book will engage students and scholars of English and Urdu literature, comparative literature, cultural studies, as well as anyone interested in Muslim social and cultural history.
