I first encountered Ghulam Abbas in school,his story Overcoat was part of the curriculum. I still remember it,and its shock ending. He is deservedly well known, for his short stories.
Generally,the stories in this volume are pretty good,though he does like to write about the seamy side of life. This is an author,I'd like to read more of.
