A Life in Words, the first complete translation of Ismat Chughtai's celebrated memoir Kaghazi hai Pairahan, provides a delightful account of several crucial years of her life. Alongside vivid descriptions of her childhood years are the conflicted experiences of growing up in a large Muslim family during the early decades of the twentieth century. Chughtai is searingly honest about her fight to get an education and the struggle to find her own voice as a writer. The result is a compellingly listenable memoir by one of the most significant Urdu writers of all time.

Urdu-language selections, featuring "Khaana Vazir", "Jul Kuukri", "Chauthi ka Jora", and more.

In this Urdu-language collection: "Woh jo Devaar ko na Chaat Sakay" by Intizar Hussain; "Bhabie" by Ismat Chughtai; and "Pukka Gaana" by Zamiruddin Ahmed.

It is noted in the anthology of Ismat stories that Ismat Chughtai wrote two versions of the same story, Kallu. After writing the first version, she presented it to a peer for a review. Both she and her peer forgot about this exchange. Perhaps she was preoccupied with the characters and plot, as she proceeded to write the Kallu narrative yet again.

Titles include: "Amar Bail"; "Chiri ki Dukki"; "Ghoonghat"; "Roshan".
