Very good lecture - the speaker's enthusiasm is infectious. Enlightening and educating. Though I haven't read the book, still a thoroughly absorbing session.
Sir, David Foster Wallace is also the most essential humanist writer to be discussed (also an American). And I think, in current scenario of this rapid digitalization, the Pakistani youth needs to know about him the most, to read him. Please do one discussion on him. He is one true humanist I believe.
How about native writer Valmiki? His मा नवादा प्रतिष्ठां त्वमगमः शाश्वतीः समाः। यत्क्रौञ्चमिथुनादेकमवधीः काममोहितम्॥ is the first poem of the universe.
When societies are not worried about food and environment is safe, they start exploring the bigger things like why we are on earth ? What is the purpose of my life ?
Almost all the American intellectuals who when try to find out the purpose of life they end up reading Bhagvad Gita and Upanishads and their search ends there.
Salinger was never interested in Sufism. At least it's not in public domain.Salinger studied and incorporated teachings from Hinduism, Buddhism, and other mystical paths, emphasizing the importance of inner awareness, transcendence, and detachment from material concerns.
The prime reason for its ban in schools was, Holden’s thoughts and experiences which include references to sexuality, visits to bars, and brief encounter with a prostitute. These topics made many parents uncomfortable with the idea of young readers engaging with the book.
I wonder how Pakistanis have given so much space to Mullas ? the guy in red shirt, a shayar, had asked the right question but his question should have been the first line of my this comment.

I purchased its Russian edition in 1990. Introduction in Russian but novel was in English. Difficult reading.
