Looking Glass Pakistan

“I’m tempted to name my looking-glass Pakistan …” I think this is a brilliant use of theory definition by Rushdie, though I doubt he would care I thought it was brilliant. However, just the idea of having a country going through the same kind of formation as a person does when creating their self image is amazing. The country sees what others around them are saying about it, the country imagines what judgments will be made based on those sayings, and then it imagines its own self image. I could just imagine a map of Pakistan looking the mirrors of a fun house trying to find it’s self.
