The works in this issue extend from Rabat to Aleppo to Baghdad to al-Qunfudhah, suggesting an interconnected map both real and metaphorical. There is a strong spiritual road in this issue. Wafik Khansa's "The Hadith is Written" reclaims the hadith as a literary genre, although it probably should not be read without a Frostian sense of irony.
