A Transparent Black Shirt

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.
