Oranges in the Sun: Short Stories from the Arabian Gulf

The stories in Oranges in the Sun capture a distinctly unique vision of the world, embodying the range of emotional and material concerns of the peoples of the Arab Gulf region. Drawn from the increasingly rich literatures of Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Oman, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Qatar, and Kuwait , the stories also reflect the development of the short-story genre in the region.

The introduction to the collection provides historical context, as well as a broad overview of the selections.
