I have good reasons for keeping my personal life on hold. Then Maddie Jennings walks into my life and makes me question all my choices. Maddie says she hasn't met anyone like me before, and hopes she never will again. Good. I can't stand the thought of anyone else getting the reactions I do out of her when I boss her around, when I stand just a little too close.

आज़ादी के पाँच दशक पूरे होने और आधुनिकता के तमाम आयातित अथवा मौलिक रूपों को भीतर तक आत्मसात् कर चुकने के बावजूद आज भी हम कहीं-न-कहीं सवर्ण और अवर्ण के दायरों में बँटे हुए हैं। सिद्धान्तों और किताबी बहसों से बाहर, जीवन में हमें आज भी अनेक उदाहरण मिल जाएँगे, जिनमें हमारी जाति और वर्णगत असहिष्णुता स्पष्ट दृष्टिगोचर होती है। ‘जूठन' ऐसे ही उदाहरणों की श्रृंखला है जिन्हें एक दलित व्यक्ति ने अपनी पूरी संवेदनशीलता के साथ ख़ुद भोगा है।

बहैसियत अदबी भाषा उर्दू की ताक़त जिन कुछ लेखकों को पढ़ते हुए एक ठोस आकार की शक्ल में नमूदार होती है, उनमें इस्मत चुग़ताई को चोटी के कुछ नामों में शुमार किया जा सकता है। जहाँ तक ज़बान को इस्तेमाल करने के हुनर का सवाल है, बेदी और मंटो में भी वह महारत दिखाई नहीं देती जो उनमें दिखती है। बेदी कहानी को मूर्तिकार की सी सजगता से गढ़ते थे और मंटो की कहानी अपने समय के कैनवस पर अपना आकार ख़ुद लेती थी। लेकिन इस्मत की कहानी भाषा और भाषा में बिंधी हुई सदियों की मानव-संवेदना की चाशनी से इस तरह उठती है जैसे किसी खौलती हुई कड़ाही में, भाप को चीरकर कोई मुजस्समा उठ रहा हो।
