Summary: Lives To Care About
Comment: With a few short lines or several words, Yusuf Idris creates people that we recognize and people we care about. Right at the beginning of each story, you immediatly are concerned about each of the well rounded characters, their lives and future. They are strugling with life. These are people who have faults, goodness, dispare and hope. I have recommended this book to many people and everyone has enjoyed it. Yusuf Idris is a great storyteller deserving a wider audience. His tales are human tales told/drawn with a greater skill than many of the well known authors writing today.

Rating: 4
Summary: fascinating social commentary
Comment: "The Cheapest Nights" is a collection of short stories written by the famous Yussuf Idriss. The stories deal with various aspects of Egyptian life in primarily rural communities. One of the main themes is greed and the way it distorts individuals. While some of his stories dwell on cruelty and weakness, Idriss also has stories that illustrate the human capacity for tenderness and forgiveness. Overall, the short stories in this book provide a kaleidoscope of images and characters that left me wanting to read more.
