The Wandering Falcon is a 2011 novel-in-stories by Pakistani author Jamil Ahmad. Set in the Federally Administered Tribal Area along the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan, the novel follows orphan Tor Baz—the “wandering falcon” of the title—as he traverses the region, witnessing the struggles of the many tribal peoples who inhabit it. Although Tor Baz appears in each of the novel’s nine connected stories, he is not the protagonist of any of them: rather he is an enigmatic witness. Instead of a plot, the novel charts the slow decline and torment of the tribal peoples as for the first time they encounter the impositions of governments in the aftermath of decolonization and the run-up to the 1979 Soviet war in Afghanistan.
