Author: Rakhshanda Jalil
This book is a collection of memories about Ismat Chughtai from a variety of sources, especially from people who knew her personally. She is one of the most provocative and rebellious writers in Urdu. Her formidable body of work comprises several collections of short stories, novels, sketches, plays, reportage and radio plays. The book brings together a lot of material – some is out of print or has been translated for the first time.These writings offer a more holistic way of understanding Chughtai -beyond narrow gender terms – as a politically aware, socially engaged writer, and an artist concerned with humanity.
