IRAQ + 100 The First Anthology of Science Fiction to Have Emerged from Iraq

Peter Ganim's considerable experience narrating stories set in the Middle East makes him an obvious choice for this science fiction collection set in Iraq. His accurate pronunciation of the Arabic words sprinkled throughout these stories is a key part of listeners' feeling transported to another country. Ganim deploys his considerable range to capture the colorful characters and settings of this unique collection. Listeners can enjoy the stories in order or skip around at their leisure through works centered on universal human emotions like love, loss, and suffering. What makes them a unique listening experience is how the collection imagines an Iraq of the future, a hundred years from the invasions that have caused such devastation.
