PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION
Set in Damascus in 1959 and told as a collection of stories, this novel recalls the past glories of Syria as they fade in the face of modernism. Richly evoking the mysticism, demons, and society of the traditional Arabian storyteller, seven compatriots gather to tell seven magical stories over seven nights when a friend is suddenly struck dumb.
