Zia Ahmed, translator of The Raven of Ruwi and Other Stories of Oman, spotlights stories of the marginalized in a new reading list for The Markaz Review.

“The titles on this reading list may not be unique in their portrayal of marginal characters and settings, but each one holds profound meaning for the writer. They offer insightful glimpses into lives lived at the edges of society, exploring the challenges, triumphs, and complexities of characters who invite readers to empathize with experiences often overlooked.”
