Finding Is the First Act
I read a lot of folktales from around the world. I like buying collections of them at bookstores when I travel. I picked this book up in DC at Middle East books in Jan 2020, back when we could still travel!
The stories themselves aren't bad. But the telling of them leaves a lot to be desired, especially when compared to other folk tale compendiums. I'm not sure whether it's because Han was mistranslating, or mishearing, or something else. But the English is disjointed and often hard to follow. Sometimes it seemed like entire sections of stories were somehow left out of the retelling.
These stories have a lot of potential. I'd love for a scholar of Yemeni culture and history to tackle them, ideally in partnership with a seasoned storyteller.
