In one set piece at a dinner party in a Hong Kong high-rise, Chowdhury cracks open the insular world...
...weeks ago a group of Pakistani journalists and foreign correspondents based in Pakistan gathered to meet visiting representatives of the Washington-based think tank Center for American Progress.
