Description: Pity of Partition : Manto's Life, Times, and Work Across the India-Pakistan Divide, Hardcover by Jalal, Ayesha, ISBN 0691153620, ISBN-13 9780691153629, Brand New, Free shipping in the US This is the first English-language biography of acclaimed Urdu short story writer Saadat Hasan Manto (1), written by his niece, Jalal (history, Tufts U.). As her title makes clear, she particularly focuses on the role of the 1947 partition of British India into India and Pakistan and the accompanying violent sectarian conflict in influencing Manto's life and writings--including one of his best known works "Toba Tek Singh," which protested the irrationality of partition--while simultaneously allowing Manto's writing to inform about the politics of partition.
