New Short Fiction from Sudan: ‘Nameless,’ by Mohammed Hamad Mahmoud
“On joining primary school, I started leaving sufficient space for my non-existent name at the right margin of the page, followed by my father’s full name, who died and immortalized his name through me. I did the same in my English notebooks, at the left side of the page. I was the third person in all languages and descriptions in the universe.”

their lips kept wet with sprinkled water
their cheeks sparkling with freshness and moisture.”
