Tootti Sanson ke Damiyan

Description

Tootti Sanson Ke Darmiyaan is a short-story collection by Dr. Wasiul Haque Wasi that places the COVID-19 pandemic in the lineage of Partition literature — following in the tradition of writers like Krishan Chandar (Amrit Sar Express), Khwaja Ahmad Abbas, and Manto, whose Partition-era stories remain etched in memory even today. Reviewer Ishrat Zaheer notes that Wasi blends imagination with reality with skill, crafting fiction from harrowing real events using simple, flowing language and story elements that carry genuine emotional weight rather than being mere embellishment. The stories explore thought, feeling, and imagination alongside the texture of real events, leaving their mark on readers by highlighting both individual tragedy and collective grief
