Chacha Sam Ke Naam Khutoot by Saadat Hasan Manto

4.0

I discovered this series of letters on Scribd and I absolutely enjoyed it. In this series of nine letters, Manto writes to his Uncle - who happens to be Uncle Sam in America and he talks about the issues that he is facing in Pakistan, and frequently asks his generous, richer uncle for help.

This is my first introduction to Manto's work and now that I've experienced a bit of his satire, I'm definitely interested in looking up more of his work. In these letters, he tackles the issues of censorship, the really poor quality of alcohol in Pakistan, how sending Hollywood actresses to Pakistan would do wonders and America's policies during the Cold War.

The audio format works really well because the narrator did a wonderful job!
