Presented in partnership with The Markaz Review & City Lights, editor Jordan Elgrably and actor, Reza Sixo Safai read from Stories from the Center of the World: New Middle East Fiction (City Lights, 2024), an anthology of new short stories from 25 emerging and established writers from the greater Middle East (or SWANA), a vast region that stretches from Southwest Asia, through the Middle East and Turkey, and across Northern Africa. The 25 authors included here come from a wide range of cultures and countries, including Palestine, Syria, Pakistan, Iran, Lebanon, Egypt, and Morocco, to name some.; a unique collection of voices and viewpoints that illuminate life in the global Arab/Muslim world.
