Sans Crainte

Sans Crainte is a collection of stories of love, youthful traumas, urban lives, politicized campuses and high spirits. There are stories written with the energy of passionate youth and some written with matured thoughts over atrocities on women and other marginalized ones. You get to experience various feelings including but not limited to love, lust, rape, sacrifice, death, deceit, loss, hypocrisy, sorrow, humor and ego. Sensitive, imaginative and touching, these stories, written for the most part in Anwar Jamal Faiz's late teens, twenties and early thirties, reveal a formidable talent.

Rounding off the collection is a sublime discourse on the women entry ban in Maulana Azad library, AMU, Aligarh. It aims to demystify the biased row over the alleged sexist approach brick by brick. Also, included is an essay on mother that won Anwar Jamal a Second Position in the All India Writing Competition, 2005, organised by British Council and Women's Study Network.
