Jani Abro

Jani, whose full name is Zahid Dara Abro, is a romantic at the quintessence with skills in painting, poetry, and prose. He predominantly expresses himself in his mother tongue, Sindhi. Jani writes about the remnants of life’s carnage, yet at the same time he draws inspiration from the garbage where life crawls. His aesthetics are abstracts like reverse tenses. His analytical side, coupled with an immense attention to detail, is evident in his work. Jani has viewed life through various lenses, including rural and urban perspectives, the developing and developed world. Over time, he has honed the ability to capture subtle nuances and reveal their true meanings.

His novel Those Trees Outlive Them is a rolling tale of how five generations search for meaning and find the object of life itself, their overlapping narratives bridge the gaps between poverty and wealth, past and present, east and west, and good and bad.

Jani is a trained physician, working as a neurophysiologist (an allied health technologist) in New York/New Jersey since 1999.
