Agenda: Stories From the Center of the World: New Middle East Fiction

In this episode of The Chris Hedges Report, Elgrably (editor of this anthology of short fiction) discusses the stories that remind English-speaking Western readers of the humanity behind those from this often misunderstood and misrepresented region.

In Stories From the Center of the World: New Middle East Fiction, 25 authors weave together unique tales that offer a nuanced and substantive portrayal of the region. Hedges and Elgrably explore a handful of the stories, delving into themes such as the struggles of working class immigrants, the challenges of adjusting to life in the Middle East after years in American society and more.

These stories thrust the reader into the perspectives of Middle Eastern people, whether they’re immigrants or refugees, and through their thoughts, actions and complexities, unravel the misconceptions so often exploited by politicians about them. “There’s an explanation for why people would leave. They don’t hate their countries. They would love to be able to stay,” Elgrably says.
