Description:
'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.'
