Welcome to Litsy!

Manto's stories pierce through your heart like a fresh summer morning, jolting you to wake up and reel into the naked reality.

My favorites of the year. Some old favorites, some completely new authors. All in all a great reading year. Also, highly recommend reading the tagged author. The edition that I read is not listed here, but any short story collection of his has most of the popular stories.

Saadat Hasan Manto, much like many of sub-continental regional writers, is largely forgotten by most of India, except perhaps by a few literary readers. I, myself, brought up in the southern most part of this vast country came to read him recently. A true genius when it comes to writing short stories.
