A thoughtful, profound and often moving collection of short stories about womanhood in the Middle East, brought to us by an important new Saudi literary voice. From the ordinary to the extraordinary, from the quotidian to the sublime, in forty-five short stories, A Transparent Black Shirt explores what it means to be a Muslim woman in contemporary Middle Eastern society. By turns moving, evocative, outrageous, exhilarating, contemplative and funny, this is a thoughtful collection of narratives about womanhood in the Middle East, exploring important issues or society and morality. Part of Nomad Publishing's range of authors in translation, painting a vivid picture of Arabia at a time of astonishingly rapid change.
