I wanted to read to see what the fuss was about, thirty years late.

It's too bad that Kaplan had access to Saad's Orientalism yet still only saw the region as a failed version of West Europe, not it's own distinct and valid society recovering from waves of imperialism forced on it, albeit with many challenges. 70 pages in and it's not clear whether he sees local people as real humans.

I supposed I'm at the part where the solution to the mystery should begin to show itself and I will be thrown some Red Herrings...the third quarter of a mystery is always the quickest read ;)

Loving these stories so far.
