About the Author: Saadat Hasan Manto was born in what is now Punjab in 1912.
By turns humorous and fantastical, Manto\'s tales are the provocative and unflinching lives of those forgotten by humanity.
Vividly bringing to life the city\'s seedy underbelly--the prostitutes, pimps, and gangsters that filled its streets--as well as the aspiring writers and actors who arrived looking for fame, here are all of Manto\'s Bombay-based stories, together in English for the very first time.
A journalist, screenwriter, and editor, Manto is best known as a master of the short story, and Bombay was his lifelong muse.
A metropolis for all, and an exhilarating hub of license and liberty, bursting with both creative energy and helpless despondency.
Arriving in 1930s Bombay, Saadat Hasan Manto discovered a city like no other.
