A mosaic of interrelated stories exploding with personality, myth, and geohistorical weight, "Morning in Serra Mattu" is a profound, joyful meditation on life in modern Sudan. Gamal seamlessly blends large-scale political realities with the local, the traditional: "old villages/ whose ancient way is so composed/ each single blade of grass is known/and in its place."
