Emile Habibi was a giant of modern Arabic letters. Years ago, some students and I translated his post-1967 fiction, Sudasiyyat al-ayyam al-sitta. After watching our translation gather dust for the past eight years, I am pleased to present it to you here: The Six-Day Sextet. This is an open access translation—which means it is offered to you free of charge, for your personal use. Please read, print, distribute, and share as you like.
