The short-story, also known as "afsaana," is one of the most important literary subgenres in Urdu literature, despite its relative youth. This was influenced by western and literary concepts and tendencies, as well as the contemporary industrial and mechanized environment. This book "Turki ke kuch Afsane (Few short stories of Turkey)" collects a selection of short stories from Turkey's contemporary fiction that were written/translated by Urdu fiction writer Masood Sheikh.
