One World Two is even more ambitious than Volume One in its geographic scope, featuring 21 writers drawn from every continent. Most of the stories are unique to this volume, while others are appearing for the first time in English (Egypt’s Mansoura Ez-Eldin and Brazil’s Vanessa Barbara). The themes and writing
styles are as richly diverse as their writers’ origins.
