Book Details

The enduring fascination of Manto's writings lies in the way they engage the serious reader beyond the shadows cast by their geo-historical inscription. This book shows that Manto's seemingly simple stories turn out to be, on closer reading, extremely complex and profound explorations of society and the human soul. That their richness not only deserves but rewards a critical scrutiny through the lens of a range of engaged contemporary philosophical positions is ably demonstrated by the author. Manto is inexhaustible: as Navdeep Kaur shows, the templates introduced by Badiou, Zizek and Ranciere reveal new, but not the only, possibilities of reading him.- Pro. Rajesh Sharma
