Basrayatha is a literary tribute by author Muhammad Khudayyir to
the city of his birth, Basra, on the Shatt al-Arab waterway in
southern Iraq. Just as a city's inhabitants differ from outsiders
through their knowledge of its streets and stories, so Khudayyir
distinguishes between the real city of Basra and the imagined city
he created through stories, experiences, and folklore. By turns a
memoir, a travelog, a love letter, and a meditation, Basrayatha
summons up a city long gone, yet which lives on in the memories and
imaginations of its people. In the tradition of Calvino and Borges,
Khudayyir's mesmerizing work itself illuminates and enriches the
story of this magnificent city.
