"Khedairi imagines a Baghdad apartment building full of characters and domestic dramas and surrounded by war....There's something funny, desperate and familiar in these characters' stories, in their efforts to create a peaceful life. They reminisce about the 'Days of Plenty.' They part the curtains to reveal a city covered in ash." -- Los Angeles Times
"The author writes with both humor and sensitivity." -Arab News
"Absent paints a moving portrait....skillfully told." - Egyptian Mail
