Summary:
Ten of Ahmed Fagih's best short stories are included in this memorable collection, providing a reading experience that is both entertaining and socially relevant. Although focusing on contemporary themes such as the conflict between self and society, and the tension between conservative concepts and modern values, Fagih retains his signature style of writing. Always poetic, with a characteristic mixture of illusion and reality, the author brings to western culture stories that have delighted Arabic audiences for years.
