Review

"Al-Mohaimeed's work, assisted by Calderbank's faultless translation, beautifully captures the frustrations and resentments of his tormented characters."

Publisher's note

As their paths converge, three very different men--a Bedouin missing an ear, a one-eyed orphan, and a eunuch--reveal the miraculous power of stories to free them from the nightmare and pain of their lives to discover a new beauty, in the first novel published by an up-and-coming Middle Eastern writer to be published outside the Middle East. Original.

Annotation

Saudi Arabian author Yousef Al-Mohaimeed tells the story of three disenfranchised men whose attempts to escape their destitute lives end in failure and tragedy. Tawfiq was kidnapped as a child by Sudanese slave traders, who castrated him and turned him into a eunuch. Nasir, a one-eyed orphan, suffers terrible abuse at his orphanage, and his lifelong dream of becoming a solider is denied. These two heartbreaking stories hang over the head of a one-eared Bedouin tribesman named Turad as he waits at bus station, hoping to flee somewhere that will offer him some greater chance for happiness. The hopelessness of these young men's situations, as well as the starkness of life at the bottom of the Middle Eastern world, are shocking, heartbreaking, and fascinating.
