I was surprised by his stories. The narrative never shies away from sexuality. In fact, Manto was tried at least 6 times for obscenity!! No, he is not at all obscene. Has written heart-rending stories around Partition. He also has a dry as well as sharp sense of humor and wit. A very interesting read. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
This collection includes some of Manto's finest stories, ranging from his chilling account of the horrors of Partition to his portrayal of the underworld. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

These stories, generally about the downtrodden (his protagonists are often prostitutes) and the underworld, simply don’t rank with the best of what I have read about that time and place. Part of it is a stylistic habit of Manto’s: stories often end quite abruptly with the conclusion implied (at best). I don’t generally have a problem with that style but there was something about his conclusions, in story after story, that simply failed to impress me and often led to a story falling flat in my estimation. Few of these stories or even characters “spoke” to me in a way I could truly feel and empathize with. I suspect my reaction is a distinct minority (he is very highly rated on Goodreads, for instance) and I cannot help but wonder if my opinion will change with time. ( )
