About this product
Product Information
This collection of fourteen connected stories and a novella, From the Secret History of Numan Abdel Hafez, takes us deep into Upper Egypt and the village of Dayrut al-Sharif, in which Mohamed Mustagab was born. When the stillness of a day's end is shattered by a single gunshot, poignant beauty merges seamlessly into horror, and when a police officer seeking to unravel a murder finds himself with more body parts than he knows what to do with, violence tips as easily into farce.

Reviews
"Mohamed Mustagab transports the reader to the strange, distinctive world of rural Upper Egypt with its poverty, superstition, vendettas, honor killings, rumors and folklore. In his vigorous translation, Humphrey Davies captures Mustagab's rollicking style and vivid descriptive powers."--Saudi Gazette "The real beauty in Mustagab's writing is a man looking back on the characters and environs of his childhood in the town of Dayrut, the stories are some times edging into the surreal and at times have a real dark satire element, the area he is talking about is a place rich in spirit and beliefs. This gives a great view of an area of Egypt I didn't know anything about. As ever Humphrey Davies does a wonderful job on translation but what else would you expect from the prize-winning translator."--Winstonsdad's Blog: best in translated fiction from all four corners
