For example the translation of "The End of Manners" that the translator chose was قديسات كابول

Scattered Escapades and Memories

You can brainstorm what makes this book different, the style, tone, etc.
And you might even come up with a totally different title from the original Arabic title.

Scattered Memories and Flights of Fancy

Found several books entitled "Scattered Memories." For the other one, I am trying to provide an alternative to other possible translations.

Flight of fancy: An unrealistic idea or fantastic notion, a pipe dream. For example, She engaged in flights of fancy, such as owning a million-dollar house. This idiom uses flight in the sense of “a soaring of the imagination,” a usage dating from the mid-1600s.

random memories and ruminations

I think this just sounds better in English, and it seems to capture the mood of the statement.
