An amazing variety of stories and poems which explore different perceptions of ‘foreignness’ edited by Piers Blaikie and Jenny Morris.

Here are camels, carpet sellers, nomadic Arabs, earthquake victims, an effigy of a dead ancestor, a hobby-calf, a crazy dog, a Russain blackmailer, a German prisoner of war, a brave Turkish woman, Chinese mourners, malevolent Mexican spirits and a character with dementia.

Written with sharp observations – danger, death, passion, grief, hope and humour are to be found here. An extaordinary, hilarious and unique anthology.
