I am one of those pro-prose people and also a stickler for good grammar. Yet I am curious about this book. It would be interesting to view this part of the world from local perspectives.

I haven't read a collection of plays in a long time. This appears to be a very wonderful one. Congrats on BOTD.

I like the thought of reading short stories from a diverse group of authors from middle eastern countries. Thanks for the wonderful review.

This book sounds like it has some very interesting plays. I don’t generally read plays, but I’m sort of curious about the Middle Eastern experiences. I’ll check out the sample.

Truths about how refugees have to survive and make a life worth enjoying can be hard and especially in a country where there is no or limited freedoms it sounds interesting and a good read. It would give many of us who have not experienced what life would be like as a refugee a good perspective of things and allowing us to appreciate the many blessings we have in life.

Humor, humanity, new homelands... It does indeed sound like these authors have contributed quite the collection of modern plays to address a wide range of topics that refugees must surely be forced to face en masse. Thank you for sharing your helpful impressions and insights.
