520 |a Here, for the first time, is a volume of short stories from this commercially and culturally vital and vibrant center of the Arab world.

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 no.
