Everyman’s Library really does put out some nice looking books. Arrived today, Cormac McCarthy’s “Border Trilogy” in an omnibus format—All the Pretty Horses, The Crossing and Cities of the Plain. A great jacket, hardcover and a place ribbon, with nice red cloth covered boards.

In these two stories by @IbtisamAzem, things are not quite as they seem. Translated by Mayada Ibrahim, this fiction is simultaneously disconcerting and grounding — unfolding in medias res, with scenes and imagery that linger long in the reader's mind.

ALT An illustration in two halves. The top half shows a woman at the front of a protest march, shouting with her arm in the air. In the bottom half is a field of poppies with a hand running through it. Underneath the illustration it says: Two Short Stories by Ibtisam Azem, trans. by Mayada Ibrahim.
