{"product_id":"bombay-stories","title":"Bombay Stories","description":"A collection of classic, yet shockingly contemporary, short stories set in the vibrant world of mid-century Bombay, from one of India's greatest writers. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eArriving in 1930s Bombay, Saadat Hasan Manto discovered a city like no other. A metropolis for all, and an exhilarating hub of license and liberty, bursting with both creative energy and helpless despondency. A journalist, screenwriter, and editor, Manto is best known as a master of the short story, and Bombay was his lifelong muse. Vividly bringing to life the city's seedy underbelly--the prostitutes, pimps, and gangsters that filled its streets--as well as the aspiring writers and actors who arrived looking for fame, here are all of Manto's Bombay-based stories, together in English for the very first time. By turns humorous and fantastical, Manto's tales are the provocative and unflinching lives of those forgotten by humanity.","brand":"Knopf Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48833699774669,"sku":"9780804170604","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0557\/1529\/9533\/files\/imageloader_a14255ab-964e-482f-8145-785189e903e3.jpg?v=1790894409","url":"https:\/\/booksatmidnight.com\/products\/bombay-stories","provider":"Books At Midnight","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
