Overview

In collaboration with La Belle Inutile Editions, Sulfur Editions is delighted to present *Myths, a collection of short stories by the acclaimed Egyptian writer, Ramy Yehia. This volume marks the first English translation of Yehia's, offering Anglophone readers a glimpse into the vibrant world of contemporary Egyptian literature. This collection showcases Yehia's innovative approach to storytelling, blending the ancient tradition of mythmaking with the modern techniques of magical realism. Drawing inspiration from his Nubian heritage, Yehia infuses his narratives with a distinct rhythm and cadence, reminiscent of oral storytelling. The stories in Myths are not retellings of familiar religious myths but rather entirely new creations, rooted in the realities of everyday life. Through the lens of magical realism, Yehia transforms mundane events and familiar settings into extraordinary tales that explore themes of love, loss, longing, and the human condition. The wolf, the moon, and the sun become central figures in these narratives, their mythical qualities interwoven with the experiences of ordinary people.
