A Study of Stylistics of Mumtaz Mufti’s Sketch Writing

Abstract

Mumtaz Mufti is a renowned author of Urdu literature. He is well known in literary societies. He added a great count in Urdu prose and made his distinct style in writing. Nobody could compete Mufti’s stylistics nor he could be followed by anyone. If one tries to copy his stylistics, the writing itself shows out the imitation. Personality sketches written by Mufti have a great count in non-fiction prose.  He has compiled four collections of personality sketches which are “Piyaaz ky Ch’hilky”, “Okhay Log”, “Aur Okhay Log”, “Okhay Olarry”. In this article, only the sketches included in “Okay Ollarry” are analyzed for study of stylistics.
