About this listen

 "Open It" is a story about a traumatic father desperately looking for his missing daughter. He describes her features to a group of boys and they find the girl. But the old man only sees his daughter many days later, on a hospital stretcher, having been retrieved from a railway track. What happens next with a simple word like "Open It" is heart-wrenching. This has been translated from the original story "Khol do" written by Saadat Hasan Manto. Saadat Hasan Manto was the most widely read and the most controversial short-story writer. He was known to write about the hard truths of society that no one dared to talk about.©2020 Storytel Original IN (P)2020 Storytel Original IN Literary History & Criticism
