About This Book

A narrator staying on a lonely island befriends a taciturn recluse who shares strange, apparently eyewitness tales from the Middle East. The stories mix travel sketches, local color and uncanny anecdotes set amid bazaars, mosques and desert vistas, including a memorable account of a pale camel seen in a Cairo night, scenes of Ramadan, and meetings with a globe-trotting naturalist who collects exotic animals and plants. Tone and structure shift between reflective framing narrative and vivid episodic vignettes that explore cultural contrast, wandering, and the lure of eastern landscapes.
