About this listen

 Once asked, why do you write stories? Manto replied – ‘I do not write stories, stories write me.’ Manto was a writer who showed a new way to Urdu fiction with his conversational style of story-narration which strikes at the core of audience’s heart. This is a collection of some of his best short stories like Kaali Shalwar, Thanda Gosht, Toba Tek Singh and others.©2019 Rekhta Foundation (P)2020 Rekhta Foundation Poetry
