This book is the first of a three-volume series which will contain all of Saadat Hasan Manto's 255 known stories translated into English for the very first time. Volume I collects fifty-four stories and two essays written by Manto about his time in Bombay and Poona in colonial India. The anthology includes well-known stories like 'Mummy' and 'Janki', which provide rare insights into the Poona film industry; the fascinating story of 'Babu Gopinath'; and 'My Marriage' and 'My Sahib', two essays that read almost like stories.
