A rebellious yet human portrait of India's bustling Bombay, as told
by one of the greatest Urdu writers of the last century: Saadat
Hasan Manto. 'The undisputed master of the modern Indian short
story' Salman Rushdie, Observer In the 1930s and 40s, Bombay was
the cosmopolitan capital of the subcontinent - an exhilarating hub
of license and liberty, bursting with both creative energy and
helpless degradation. It was also muse to the celebrated short
story writer of India and Pakistan, Saadat Hasan Manto. Manto's
hard-edged, moving stories remain, a hundred years after his birth,
startling and provocative. In searching out those forgotten by
humanity - prostitutes, conmen and crooks - Manto wrote about what
it means to be human.
