Faysal Mikdadi

The Dabawis and the Shargawis Faysal Mikdadi

These are short stories written during various visits to Dubai and Ras Al Khaimah. Many of the stories were inspired by real experiences during meetings with interesting people and during long solitary walks in both cities and their surrounding countrysides. Mikdadi tries to make some sense of a hilariously disordered world and some order out of chaos. These short stories are memorable. As the late Maeve Binchy said of Mikdadi's writings, his words cannot help but move all readers.
