Hello Hyderabadis, <3 Books and Beyond's next meetup would be on the two truly controversial writers; their bluntness and agression being legendary. First, Khushwant Singh, the significant post-colonial writer known for his secular ideas, humor and abiding love for poetry. Second, Manto, the nonconformist, unorthodox and ruthlessly bold writer. Both were unflichingly honest. They penned down the brutal realties of the blood-drenched partition of the subcontinent, and its consequences. They scruitinized human behavior, which had been under the cloak of civility. They spoke at length about taboos such as sex, and seduction, and wrote on social injustice. Their writings timeless; scented with the Sardar's scotch and the gut-wrenching odor of Manto's cigarette. Within the ink, lies the despicable realities of time, profound ugliness and twisted beauty. We invite you to read, discuss and celebrate the essence of their blunt writings with us on 25th February, Saturday. Books and Beyond awaits your presence.
