Stories from the Middle East and beyond, told in a cynical, sour and taut voice under which strong feelings smoulder. Their narrator, a Hungarian war correspondent named Dániel Maros who has lost his happiness, flees a lying world into war zones, madness, the beds of prostitutes, alcohol and opium. Love, friendship, hatred, the longing for justice and revenge run through the stories, which are set in places such as Cairo and Palestine.
