Lihaaf (The Quilt)
Ismat Chughtai
'Lihaaf ("The Quilt") is a
Urdu short story written by Ismat Chughtai. Published in 1942, at the
Urdu literary journal Adab-i-Latif, it led to much controversy, uproar
and an obscenity trial in the Lahore Court.
The narrator of this
story, a precocious nine-year old child, is sent to visit an aunt. This
aunt, ignored by a husband whose only interest seems to lie in
entertaining slim-waisted young boys, suffers from a relentless bodily
itch. An itch, her niece discovers, no doctor can cure and only her
masseuse can relieve.'
