Manto Short Stories

Manto was my favorite book out of all the ones we read this semester. I liked how the stories were short and concise, but they all had bigger meanings that connected with partition. I also like the wit, humor, and writing style in all of the stories. I noticed that the protagonists in these stories are always people like prostitutes, mentally insane inmates, criminals, poor people, and beggars. The author makes a connection with people in all walks of life through these stories, and I think that these types of people represent the horribleness that partition brings.
