Welcome to the October 2004 issue.
In this issue, Qader Moradi presents a short story "A Voice from the Ashes", translated by Daud Razawi; Sheryl Shapiro offers a photo essay of Takht-i-Rustam, the ancient Buddhist site; and Yama Rahimi shares his photographic work "Pieces of Afghanistan" and provides the cover.
We hope that you enjoy this issue. We look forward in reading your feedback and comments. We encourage Afghan writers and those writing about Afghanistan to contribute work for future publications.
