Overview

Seeking uncanny, fun, experimental, creepy, sarcastic, playful, vulgar, inventive, sexual, weird, sweet, and evocative works, editors Samia Marshyand Eli Tareq El Bechelany-Lynch set out to collect Arab and Arabophone queer writing. The result is ananthology brimming with gems by emerging and established writers and an homage to the lineages and complexities of queer Arab life.
