The Salmiya Collection

"The Salmiya Collection" stems from the author's experiences during the past seven years in the rich environment, society, and culture of Kuwait. While in Kuwait, Loomis has written a monthly short story for Bazaar, one of its national magazines, and he has gathered them together for this collection. The stories explore life in Kuwait from an American expatriate's perspective, providing what the author deems "snapshots" that make for a readable collage of the Kuwaiti experience.
