Salim the coachman tells enchanting tales, but suddenly he is
struck dumb. Just as Scheherazade told tales to save her life,
Salim's friends must spin yarns to save his speech. Set in Damascus
in 1959, the novel alternates the real lives of our storytellers
with stories from the distant past. These are neither fables nor
fairy tales with everlasting, happy endings, and they often require
readers to suspend their disbelief. Each chapter is preceded by a
one-line hint of what is to come, such as 'How one person's true
story was not believed, whereas his most blatant lie was.'
