Popularly known as Manto, this short story writer is one of the greatest, as well as the most controversial, writers belonging to Lahore, Pakistan. His stories, originally written in Urdu, are simply narrated, having an essence of lyricism, metaphors and deep insight into human nature.

Ustaaaad manto usually known as porn writer ,but as he writes blatantly he is termed as the torch bearer of ugly face of society.

Manto at its best, Writers sell the lies, manto sold the truth. These stories are eye opener for anyone who thinks beyond languagist abuse.

A time-well-spent book. beautifully written. Things are exposed and yet so true. Urdu vocabulary is smooth that nourishes the novel and the reader too. Manto is a mystery, my his nature, that is his books. I wish he was honored when he was alive.

Selected stories from Urdu's preeminent story writer. Mostly in the backdrop of Partition and poverty-stricken Pakistan/India, the humanity in the characters shines through. Highlights include The Dog of Tetval, Toba Tek Singh, and The Blouse.
