BOOKS IN REVIEW who has translated many of his works into English. He brings his usual deft touch to the renderings of these tales, all of which read easily, settling into the reader’s consciousness where their aftereffects linger pleasingly. This is the first work to appear since 2017’s Men Without Women (see WLT, Nov. 2017), a collection I found wanting. The current work, by contrast, is gently satisfying. I was particularly taken by three. “Wi…

Zannouba, a transgender sex worker on the cusp of surgical transition, idolizes Zahira’s effortless womanhood and grapples with…
