Summary:
In this collection of stories, Newman brings us to far-flung regions of the world with an uncanny, authentic grasp of cultures. Despite the distance between them, the characters are unified in their portrayal of ordinary citizens of the world, struggling against extraordinary events with a mixture of pathos and humor. -- adapted from jacket
