Damascus Nights

The Story

Weaving together a variety of tales, the storytellers here live in present-day Syria and include a hairdresser, a geography teacher, an emigrant recently returned from America, and a cafe owner. Their stories are about princesses, demons, mystical happenings, Middle Eastern politics, and the subtleties of striking a bargain in a New York department store.
