===Novels===
In 1992 Nasrin produced two novellas which failed to draw attention.

Her breakthrough novel [[Lajja (novel)|''Lajja'' (''Shame'')]] was published in 1993, and attracted wide attention because of its controversial subject matter. It contained the struggle of a patriotic Bangladeshi Hindu family in a Muslim environment.<ref name="radicals">{{cite news |date=25 September 1993 |title=Radicals in Bangladesh Want Writer Put to Death |work=[[The State (newspaper)|The State]] |page=4A}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last=Ahmed |first=Anis |date=31 October 1993 |title=Bangladesh Author Has Bounty on Her Head |work=[[Chicago Tribune]] |page=11}}</ref> Initially written as a thin documentary, ''Lajja'' grew into a full-length novel as the author later revised it substantially.
