Many of these stories are uncomfortable, but that's what they were written to be. As an Iraqi, I know how melancholy Iraqis tend to be, and these stories really reflect that.
I can't say I enjoyed all of them, but my favourites were Baghdad Syndrome and Najufa. They really reflect how important history is to the Iraqi people, whether good for us or not.
