इस्मत चुग़ताई का यह उपन्यास कई अर्थों में बहुत महत्त्व रखता है। पहला तो ये कि यह उपन्यास इस्मत के और सभी उपन्यासों में सबसे सशक्त है। दूसरे, इस्मत को क़रीब से जाननेवाले, इसे उनकी आपबीती भी मानते हैं। स्वयं इस्मत चुग़ताई ने भी इस बात को माना है। वह स्वयं लिखती हैं, ‘‘कुछ लोगों ने ये भी कहा कि ‘टेढ़ी लकीर’ मेरी आपबीती है—मुझे ख़ुद आपबीती लगती है। मैंने इस नाविल को लिखते वक़्त बहुत कुछ महसूस किया है। मैंने शम्मन के दिल में उतरने की कोशिश की है, इसके साथ आँसू बहाए हैं और क़हक़हे लगाए हैं। इसकी कमज़ोरियों से जल भी उठी हूँ। इसकी हिम्मत की दाद भी दी है। इसकी नादानियों पर रहम भी आया है, और शरारतों पर प्यार भी आया है। इसके इश्क़–मुहब्बत के कारनामों पर चटखारे भी लिए हैं, और हसरतों पर दु:ख भी हुआ है। ऐसी हालत में अगर मैं कहूँ कि मेरी आपबीती है तो कुछ ज़्यादा मुबालग़ा तो नहीं...’’

‘टेढ़ी लकीर’ एक किरदारी उपन्यास है जैसे ‘उमरावजान अदा’। ‘टेढ़ी लकीर’ की कहानी शम्मन के इर्द–गिर्द घूमती नज़र आती है। शम्मन को चूँकि अच्छा माहौल और अच्छी तरबीयत नहीं मिली, इसी वजह से उसके अन्दर इतना टेढ़ापन पैदा हो गया जहाँ उसकी नज़र में मुहब्बत मुहब्बत नहीं रही, रिश्ते रिश्ते नहीं रहे, जीवन जीवन नहीं रहा। सब कुछ मज़ाक़ बनकर रह गया। शम्मन के किरदार का विश्लेषण किया जाए तो वह मनोविकारों का गुलदस्ता नज़र आएगी। इस किरदार के बारे में इस्मत ने एक इंटरव्यू में कहा था ‘‘...ये नाविल जब मैंने लिखा तो बहुत बीमार थी, घर में पड़ी रहा करती थी। इस नाविल की हीरोइन ‘शम्मन’ क़रीब–क़रीब मैं ही हूँ। बहुत–सी बातें इसमें मेरी हैं। वैसे आठ–दस लड़कियों को मैंने इस किरदार में जमा किया है, और एक लड़की को ऊपर से डाल दिया है। जो मैं हूँ। इस नाविल के हिस्सों के बारे में मैं सिर्फ़ इतना बता सकती हूँ कि कौन–से हिस्से मेरे हैं और कौन–से दूसरों के !...’’

इस उपन्यास को इस्मत चुग़ताई ने उन यतीम बच्चों के नाम समर्पित किया है जिनके अभिभावक जीवित हैं। दरअसल यह व्यंग्य है उन माता–पिताओं पर जो बच्चे तो पैदा कर लेते हैं पर पालन–पोषण ठीक से नहीं करते। इन्हीं कारणों से यह उपन्यास उर्दू भाषा में जितना लोकप्रिय हुआ, उम्मीद है हिन्दी के पाठकों में भी लोकप्रिय होगा।
