A good book for one of the greatest short story writers, arguably the O henry of Asia. The book is a decent collection of short stories with decent translation into English. the best part being memoirs and character sketches of Manto. Its fascinating indeed.

A mustread for thohose who want to dig deep in the problem of India-Pak partition. Also taste of short stories are always something heavenly.

Quick delivery and received it in very good condition.

Manto is someone who weaves a magic around you.Grim but catchy, sarcastic yet sadistic nature of the society comes in front of your eyes.The surprising part is the translation. The translator has successfully presented the stories in their same colours. A must read for booklovers
