Love and death and the passage between entry into the world and
exit from it are the focus of this collection of short stories.
Buthaina Al Nasiri is an Iraqi author who has lived in Cairo since
1979. Despite this physical and temporal distance from her
homeland, much of her material derives from it and many of the
stories in this collection reflect her deeply felt nostalgia for
Iraq. In contrast to many contemporary female writers, she
confesses to being less interested in the position of women in
society than in that of people in general and the sufferings they
experience between birth and the end of life. Nonetheless, some of
her best stories depict the many-colored relationships that exist
between the sexes.Buthaina Al Nasiri's work has been widely
translated into European languages, but this is the first volume of
her stories to appear in English, for which renowned translator
Denys Johnson-Davies has selected work from a career of short-story
writing spanning some thirty years.To view a short video created by
