154. Ismat Chughtai - The Quilt and Other Stories with Tania Malik
Ismat Chughtai was one of the boldest and most outspoken writers of her day. Her cleverly-crafted short story “The Quilt” sparked a years-long obscenity trial, but it also helped establish her as a writer who wasn’t afraid to shine a light on taboo subjects and speak frankly about women’s experiences both in the traditional and modern Indian world. Our guest is author Tania Malik whose most recent book, Hope You Are Satisfied, is a suspense-story set in Dubai.
