520 "Saadat Hasan Manto (1912-1955) was an established Urdu
short story writer and a rising screenwriter in Bombay at
the time of India's partition in 1947, and he is perhaps
best known for the short stories he wrote following his
migration to Lahore in newly formed Pakistan. Today Manto
is an acknowledged master of twentieth-century Urdu
literature, and his fiction serves as a lens through which
the tragedy of partition is brought sharply into focus. In
The Pity of Partition, Manto's life and work serve as a
prism to capture the human dimension of sectarian conflict
in the final decades and immediate aftermath of the
British raj. Ayesha Jalal draws on Manto's stories,
sketches, and essays, as well as a trove of his private
letters, to present an intimate history of partition and
its devastating toll. Probing the creative tension between
literature and history, she charts a new way of
reconnecting the histories of individuals, families, and
communities in the throes of cataclysmic change. Jalal
brings to life the people, locales, and events that
inspired Manto's fiction, which is characterized by an eye
for detail, a measure of wit and irreverence, and elements
of suspense and surprise. In turn, she mines these
writings for fresh insights into everyday cosmopolitanism
in Bombay and Lahore, the experience and causes of
partition, the postcolonial transition, and the advent of
the Cold War in South Asia. The first in-depth look in
English at this influential literary figure, The Pity of
Partition demonstrates the revelatory power of art in
times of great historical rupture"--Provided by publisher.
