Here, for the first time, is a volume of short stories from this
commercially and culturally vital and vibrant center of the Arab
world-a selective sampling of a burgeoning literary output since
the 1970s by the leading Arabic-English translator. Life before oil
in this region was harsh, and many of the stories in this
collection-by both men and women from all corners of the
country-tell of those times and the almost unbelievable changes
that have come about in the space of two generations. Some tell of
the struggles faced in the early days, while others bring the
immediate past and the present together, revealing that the past,
with all its difficulties and dangers, nonetheless possesses a
certain nostalgia. The volume includes stories by Abdul Hamid
Ahmed, Roda al-Baluchi, Hareb al-Dhaheri, Nasser Al-Dhaheri, Maryam
Jumaa Faraj, Jumaa al-Fairuz, Nasser Jubran, Saleh Karama, Lamees
Faris al-Marzuqi, Mohamed al-Mazroui, Ebtisam Abdullah Al-Mu'alla,
Ibrahim Mubarak, Mohamed al-Murr, Sheikha al-Nakhy, Mariam Al
Saedi, Omniyat Salem, Salma Matar Seif, Ali Abdul Aziz al-Sharhan,
Muhsin Soleiman, and 'A'ishaa al-Za'aby.
