Fasting for Ramadan is structured as a chronicle of daily meditations during two cycles of the 30-day rite of daytime abstinence required by Ramadan for purgation and prayer. Estranged in certain ways from his family’s cultural traditions when he was younger, Ali has in recent years re-embraced the Ramadan ritual, and brings to this rediscovery an extraordinary delicacy of reflection, a powerfully inquiring mind, and the linguistic precision and ardor of a superb poet.

Despite their variety, these stories remain rooted on Moroccan soil - allowing the contributing authors to bring readers closer to the linguistic, cultural, religious, and ethnic reality of Marrakech, whether Arab, Amazigh, African, or Muslim, as well as its historic Mellah - the Jewish Quarter.

Adios Muchachos is a dark, erotic, brutally funny romp through the sexual underworld and black-market boardrooms of post-Cold War Cuba. Seen through Chavarría’s compassionate but uncompromising eyes, present-day Havana is a crossroads for petty hustlers looking for an easy mark, two-time losers looking for a fresh start, and high-rolling international speculators looking to take advantage of them all.

After a successful revolt in 1846 that reversed the roles of slaves and masters, modern-day America is now dominated by a wealthy, Black ruling class, and Whites are dealing with decades of oppression and prejudice. When his father, a civil rights attorney, is killed after defending a White man, 17-year-old Willie Gibbons is forced to move to Michigan with his uncle and thrust into the heart of the racial divide. The Crown Lord is a stark and jarring look at race, class, and the American Dream that will keep listeners on edge.

Una familia ordinaria que, como en la cita célebre, se distingue por su desgracia.
