Manto: Selected Stories by Aatish Taseer, Saadat Hasan Manto
3.0
I've read a few stories of Manto before, have experienced his thoughts visually as well through movies and it always left me in awe. Stories written decades ago are still prevalent, if I say in a much more normalized way it wouldn't be wrong.
I didn't enjoy this translation GOD knows why maybe because the stories lost their essence in the translation process as this translated version stands out as bland & boring to me. If it were in Urdu my ratings would've been different for it. I love how Manto writes and his boldness to express the issues which were & still are considered taboo.
