Story time, Twitter! The prediction of yet another snowstorm has left me irrationally angry, so the tale I’m telling today from the 1001 Nights contains EXTRA MURDER, as well as deeply questionable medical practices and revenge served cold.
It’s the story of the Sage Duban and King Yunan. It’s not as long as my previous story threads, but you may want to mute me if you’re not interested.
“Duban” is one of the original tales, and Haddawy’s translation has it begin on the eleventh night. So, congratulations to Shahrazad for surviving nearly a fortnight with the world’s worst husband. The young women he hasn’t yet married and killed salute you!
