A Peace Corps story continued! The Sahara, with its harsh emptiness, is a place that even Ovid in his Metamorphoses harnessed symbol to describe. Images-or perhaps mirages-of endless wind-swept ergs, an oftentimes murderous sun, and vast stretches of rock-strewn hamada perversely tantalize the imagination. Bordered to the north by the Atlas Mountains, the Great Desert is also home to the indigenous Berbers and their camels, making this wilderness as much a sanctuary of the human spirit as a wasteland. The heart of these revised stories is drawn from Three Desert Stories (2019) while the new offer a continued glimpse into Dylan's desert ordeal. Together, the eight short stories each recall the obstacles overcome by the young American during his inward and outward desert journeys as well as that of a Berber girl, Maryam, whom he encounters. $1 from the sale of every book sold will be donated to the Peace Corps Partnership Program to continue to extend the promise of U.S. friendship around the world.
