β¦ Synopsis
Each story in Mohamed Makhzangi's unique collection Animals in Our Days features a different animal species and its fraught relationship with humansβwater buffalo in a rural village gone mad from electric lights, brass grasshoppers purchased in a crowded Bangkok market, or ghostly rabbits that haunt the site of a long-ago brutal military crackdown. Other stories tell of bear-trainers in India and of the American invasion of Iraq as experienced by a foal, deer, and puppies.
Originally published in 2006, Makhzangi's stories are part of a long tradition of writings on animals in Arabic literature. In this collection, animals offer a mute testament to the brutality and callousness of humanity, particularly when modernity sunders humans from the natural environment. Makhzangi is one of Egypt's most perceptive and nuanced authors, merging a writer's empathy with a scientist's curiosity about the world.
