*by M***M on Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2017*

It is a book of short stories by many authors, so it is not suited for your rating system, though the stories are well written.  For the most part, the stories relate circumstances which give a picture of people oppressed by governments or mores or poverty and with little relief. It feels despairing.

### ⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Sampler containing pieces that are simply too short
  

*by H***H on Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2006*

Rather than getting a true sense of each writer, what one gets is a mere glimpse.  Most of the entries are just excerpts.  And many of those excerpts are a stingy 3-4 pages long.  It's like riding in a car and seeing a brief image as you pass by.  The editor should have included fewer writers and given them space enough to have their work truly represented.  Further, there is no organization that is obvious to my eye.  I settle in too briefly with the  prescient and modern vision of the Yemeni writer Abdul- Wali (deceased) then jump to the agitated voice of young Yahya Taher Abdullah (also felled before his time) then jump again through the sharp eye of social commentator Abouzeid and over two wisps from other writers before finding the Arabic Saki (Al Amir).  Whew! All that in 23 pages.  A whirlwind, for certain, but not what I was hoping for.  Perhaps a vol 1 and vol 2 would have allowed space for greater inclusiveness without sacrificing content.  This anthology is a great idea, but it needs to be re-thought and re-released.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    An Incredible Compilation
  

*by M***Y on Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2006*

The West has so little access to Arabic literature, and there are few translations available, except for perhaps a handful of writers. So this incredible collection is a much-welcomed -- and much-needed -- addition to my library. If we want to understand, and connect with, the Arab world, getting a glimpse into the culture is an important step, and this terrific collection goes a long way toward helping with that goal.
