About this book

Odai Al Zoubi writes from an exile defined not simply by distance, but by the disappearance of the country remembered. These stories return to Syria before the war through fragments that could not be fully forgotten. They resist sentimental nostalgia, tracing instead the loneliness, humour, contradiction and incomplete knowledge carried by those who left. Half a Smile is a restrained and searching collection about memory’s failures and the need to write when neither return nor oblivion is possible.
