A collection of short stories and excerpts by 75 writers, with a heavy slant towards Egyptian literature. As could be expected, the quality of stories varies, but overall is is a great book for dipping in, many atmospheric and enjoyable pieces. Given how little Arabic fiction is generally available in english translation, pretty much everyone is bound to walk away with some new interesting finds. ( )
