Life in Kuwait is never as simple as it seems.

In Nada Among the Epics and Other Tales of Kuwait, Craig Loomis captures the humor, heartbreak, and hidden truths of everyday lives in a country where tradition and modernity collide. From back-street barbers and seaside cafés to family struggles, politics, and personal dreams, these stories weave together a vivid portrait of Kuwait as seen through ordinary people navigating extraordinary circumstances.

Blending sharp observation with wit and compassion, Loomis brings to life the voices of shopkeepers, students, ministers, mothers, and dreamers. Each tale carries a mix of rumor, memory, and half-truth-yet together they reveal a reality that feels unmistakably true.

Perfect for readers of international fiction, cultural short stories, and literary explorations of the Middle East, this collection invites you to sit at the café table, stroll the Corniche, and step into the lives of those whose stories are rarely told.
