4.25/5 at The Storygraph for City of Sin and Splendour:Writings on Lahore. A fascinating challenging collection of memoirs, histories, poems and short fiction. Of the later, my two favourites were at the end, Air Conditioning by Mohsin Hamid and The Old Mansion by Ikramullah Chaudry. It as also fun to learn that many landmarks and at least one thoroughfare in Lahore were, once upon a time, named after a distant relative who served as Viceroy of India.
