"Sly, straight-faced, tenderly wicked humor
covers and uncovers histories of pain and loss among the precarious, proud,
and fate-buffeted Arab-Americans of the titular Michigan city. A classic
American short story collection, drawing back the curtain on
a “hidden” subculture and community living in plain sight."
