520 _a"Ismat Chughtai burst into the literary scene at a time when writing by and about women was rate and tentative. She brought the idiom of the middle class to Urdu prose, examined the political and social mores of her time and explored female sexuality with unparalleled frankness. Translated by M.Asaduddin, this collection brings together the best of Chughtai's short fiction, marked by her brilliant turn of phrase, scintillating dialogue and wry humour."
