In this evocative collection of short stories, Akram Al-Deek explores the liminal spaces between life, death, and memory. The narratives delve into the lives of ordinary people caught in surreal and often tragic circumstances, navigating the absurdities of existence. Through a blend of poignant realism and dark fantasy, the stories grapple with themes of loss, displacement, and the search for meaning in a fractured world, all while observing the simple, persistent life of cats in an alley, symbolizing a world that continues on.
