Moths and Flowers: The Writings of Samer Alshaibi, October 2, 1977 - May 1, 2006 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798989009718)

The work within was created by a one-of-a-kind writer and musician whose life was cut short by addiction. The poetry and rich surrealist imagery of his stories were drawn from a life growing up between the American Midwest and the Middle East. He was a runaway teen who traveled the U.S. and then ended up spending almost a third of his life in prison. That's where he began writing his novel Moths and Flowers. It was unfortunately never finished, but it and his short stories, screenplays, and journals are compiled here so his talent can be appreciated and remembered.
