The Other Face

Stories inspired by real events and cases witnessed in courtrooms and Arab societies, revealing the tension between what people show and what they conceal.

The Other Face book cover

Every story has a visible face, and another revealed only by detail.

The Other Face brings together stories that move between fact and fiction, and between what is said publicly and what remains behind closed doors and in the corridors of the courts.

The characters and events change from one story to the next, but they meet around a single question: how much do we truly know about other people? The collection does more than present its cases; it opens them onto the contradictions within the self and society, and onto what we are reluctant to confront.
