Excerpt Preview

“This collection opens with a question that sounds simple and is not: what does it mean that a name given at birth would come, over time, to carry the entire weight of a household later reputation? Fatima name is traditionally read as derived from a root meaning to wean or to separate, one who is separated, in the classical accounts, from the faults that afflict lesser character.”
