Overview
Arriving in 1930s Bombay, Saadat Hasan Manto discovered a city like no other. A metropolis for all, and an exhilarating hub of license and liberty, bursting with both creative energy and helpless despondency. A journalist, screenwriter, and editor, Manto is best known as a master of the short story, and Bombay was his lifelong muse. Vividly bringing to life the cityās seedy underbellyāthe prostitutes, pimps, and gangsters that filled its streetsāas well as the aspiring writers and actors who arrived looking for fame, here are all of Mantoās Bombay-based stories, together in English for the very first time. By turns humorous and fantastical, Mantoās tales are the provocative and unflinching lives of those forgotten by humanity.
