Bücher der Reihe Reading the City

In the pages of this book - the first major anthology of Sudanese stories to be translated into English - diverse literary styles also come together to paint a picture of the city, from the political satire of Ahmed al-Malik to the surrealist poetics of Bushra al-Fadil.

Traversing the different neighbourhoods and districts, the stories gathered here attempt to capture the essence of contemporary Jakarta and its writing, as well as the ever-changing landscape of the fastest-sinking city in the world.
