★★★
Synopsis: Audoghast is a lost historical city in Islamic Mauretania. The story recalls a dinner at a rich merchant’s home in 1100 A.D. As one of the attractions, they invite a fortuneteller who predicts the city’s downfall.
Review: The story’s prose is very lively and draws the reader to the smells and wonders of the dinner’s atmosphere. It holds my attention and brings near the foreign Islamic culture.
