i thought of y'all and the thread re bullfighting when i saw this short story by Radwa Ashur called "A Clean Kill," translated into english from the arabic by Gretchen Head. you can find it at http://www.wordswithoutborders.org/article.php?lab=Clean

words without borders is actually a lovely site to which i am completely addicted, it is an online literary magazine dedicated to literature in translation. fabulous as a concept and the execution as a web page is pretty flawless, very easy to navigate.
