  In this collection of sixteen stories and three sketches, translated by Rakhshanda Jalil, Manto brazenly celebrates the warts of a seemingly decent society as well as its dark underbelly - tired and overworked prostitutes in `The Candle`s Tears` or `Loser all the Way`; ruthless as also humane pimps in `The Hundred Candle Watt Bulb` and `Sahay`; the utter helplessness of men in the face of a sexual encounter in `Naked Voices` and `Coward`; and the madness perpetrated by the Partition as witnessed in `By God!` and `Yazid`. In one of the three sketches, which form part of this collection, the author brilliantly reveals himself to the world in a schizophrenic piece titled `Saadat Hasan` calling `Manto the writer` a liar, a thief and a failure! And in another titled `In a Letter to Uncle Sam`, Manto superbly couches his anti-imperialistic views in an innocent letter from a poor nephew to a capitalist and prosperous uncle in America.
