Why I Write: A Collection of Non-Fiction by Saadat Hasan Manto
Edited and introduced by acclaimed journalist, author, and former editor Aakar Patel, "Why I Write" is a captivating collection of non-fiction writings from the legendary Saadat Hasan Manto. This unique compilation offers an intimate glimpse into the life, thoughts, and creative journey of one of the 20th century's most celebrated writers.
About the Book
"Why I Write" is a testament to Manto's brilliant storytelling prowess even when narrating mundane aspects of life. With wit and humor, he shares anecdotes about his family, his daughters, and his experiences in Bollywood, painting vivid pictures that bring laughter and warmth into the reader's heart.
Manto delves deep into two of his favorite themes: women and Partition. He explores the societal norms surrounding feminine beauty with his characteristic candor, challenging conventional notions of morality. His exploration of religiosity in relation to nation-building is equally insightful, providing a nuanced understanding of the socio-political climate in the subcontinent.
The book also includes Manto's astute observations on the state of the nation even six decades after Partition. His sharp critique of politics, language, and fear are as relevant today as they were when he wrote them. Each story is a gem, showcasing Manto's unparalleled skill in weaving narratives that captivate, provoke thought, and leave an indelible mark on the reader's mind.
About the Author
Aakar Patel, the editor of this collection, brings his extensive experience in journalism and editing to bear on this project. Having worked with prominent newspaper groups like Dainik Bhaskar and Mid Day, Patel has edited newspapers in English, Gujarati, and even oversaw an Urdu daily. His columns for Mint Lounge and Express Tribune showcase his deep understanding of contemporary socio-political issues.
