Tales From the Short Box #203 - SHUBEIK LUBEIK by Deena Mohamed

This week was RJ's foreign pick, and we dove into the modern masterpiece SHUBEIK LUBEIK by Deena Mohamed! In this 21st century fairy tale set in Cairo, Egypt, wishes are a commodity that can be mined, and first class wishes are the most coveted of all. As a kiosk purveyor attempts to sell these expensive wishes one by one, we explore the lives of people desperate for a solution to their diverse and perplexing problems. And through these deeply personal stories, we also get to explore the fascinating world Mohamed has immersed us in. It's a deeply moving book that moved us all   Support Tales From The Short Box by joining our Patreon! patreon.com/BraveNewWorldsComics
