FULLBLOOD ARABIAN
Osama Alomar writes in strange allegories, good and evil battles with indifference, avarice, and occasionally compassion in striking images and glowing language.
Alomar's fiction is both hard to pigeon hole and hard to forget. He has published three collections of short stories and one volume of poetry (in Arabic). He is a regular contributor to various newspapers and journals in Syria and the Arab world, among them, Tishrin, an-Nur, Spot Light, al-Halil, Adab wa Naqd, and al-Ghad. A prominent practitioner of the Arabic "very short story" (al-qisa al-qasira jiddan), he is a past winner of the Najlaa Muharam Short Story Contest in Egypt (2007). His work has appeared on the BBC Arabic Service. He graduated from the University of Damascus with a degree in modern Arabic Literature. He was born in Damascus in 1968 and now lives in Chicago where he drives a cab.
Foreword by Lydia Davis.
