The Dream of a Mad Parisian

The Dream of a Mad Parisian

“The Dream of a Mad Parisian” is the second short story collection by Baha Morshedi, published in 2010 by Naqde Afkar Publishing.

The book contains 10 short stories written over different years, each approaching the narrative world from a distinct angle. Ranging from humorous storytelling to darker and more reflective atmospheres, the collection is less bound by a single theme and more the result of experimenting with the possibilities of short fiction. Each story follows its own tone, setting, and narrative path.

Published after the collection “When Strawberries Turn Red in the Sea,” this book reflects a continuing phase in the author’s work, where exploration of form, perspective, and storytelling techniques plays a central role. Many of the concerns that later develop in his longer works appear here in their early stages.

The book is 80 pages long and published in a medium format, offering a glimpse into the early professional years of Baha Morshedi in fiction writing, a period shaped by experimentation and exploration of new narrative directions.
