They Saddle Dogs

Greg Hunt

Reading like a novel, this is the thoroughly entertaining and amusing story of a journey, both physical and emotional, undertaken across the Middle East of the nineties, experiencing the many vagaries of travelling through new territory, with the author’s eventual, emotional arrival home.

The author felt a great affinity with the time-honoured and humorous Arabic proverb: “From lack of horses they saddle dogs!” You will have to read this story to see if you agree!

Open Season in Beirut

Denys Johnson Davies

The stories in this volume show the writer’s intimate knowledge of various parts of the Arab world. The title story deals with a film-maker who gets more than he bargained for in war-torn Beirut. Another story tells the humorous cut and thrust of the ruler of a Gulf sheikhdom with his English commandant of police as they each play their part in determining the fate of a young murderer; A Smile from the Past encapsulates some of the nostalgia found in old age, while Deal Concluded, also set in the Gulf, recounts with sardonic wit the frustrations of an arms salesman seriously out of his depth.
