Mordechai's Moustache And His Wife's Cats, And Other Stories

Mahmoud Shukair's first major publication in English translation enthralls, surprises, and even shocks as one of the world's most original of storytellers excels in exposing the surreal moments in the ordinary and the mundane, the limits of human frustration and patience. Brimming with humor, and with a painter's eye for color and detail, his stories present a commentary on the power of human imagination to see beyond the particular.
