Life is always full of the unexpected and the surprising. This is the secret of many successful short stories, and Muhammad al Murr is the impresario of surprise. Every one of his stories has a sharp sting in the tail. And the comic predicaments of his characters are all the more acute because their lives are caught between the conflicting claims of modernism and tradition – nowhere more intense than in the newly oil-rich states of the Gulf.

Dubai tales
Rather a weak read
By sally tarbox on 1 December 2017
Format: Paperback
Maybe *2.5 for an uninspiring read.
A collection of 21 short stories set in the United Arab Emirates.
They focus on everyday situations: marriage problems; parents and children; travel... The modern world with its affairs, divorces, career-minded youngsters is juxtaposed with a conservative, religious world.
Although the cover blurb says that each tale 'has a sharp sting in the tail', I have to say I didn't find this at all. They tend to fade away to nothing, and you're left thinking 'is that it?' Might be OK for a mediocre magazine but how they got published is beyond me!
