Gafur Gulyam (1903–1966) is one of the most prominent representatives of twentieth-century Uzbek literature, a People’s Poet of Uzbekistan whose works combine elements of autobiography, folklore, and social satire. His novella “The Mischievous Boy” (original title “Shumbola,” 1936–1962), written in the first person, tells the story of a naughty boy’s adventures in an old Tashkent mahalla (neighborhood) at the turn of the century. It is a depiction of childhood in a world of bazaars, teahouses, jinnis (eccentric characters), and street games, filled with humor, the vivid colors of Uzbek daily life, and a critique of social injustice. The novella, rich in culture-specific elements—from descriptions of plov and chilims to proverbs and superstitions—has become a classic of Uzbek children’s literature and has been translated into Russian several times.
