It further shows that the experimental novel laid the ground for a different vision of literature, an important feature of which was the intent to surpass the traditional realist model as executed by Moroccan novelist ʿAbdulkarīm Ghallāb (1919-2017) and Egyptian Nobel laureate Najīb Maḥfūẓ (1911-2006). This new vision of literature seeks to create new discursive spheres for the treatment of the social and the political.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be an important contribution to debates around Moroccan\/Arabic\/Maghrebi literature, as well as to the field of literary experimentalism more broadly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anouar El Younssi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032613726\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032613727\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/22\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.48d","brand":"Anouar El Younssi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49084124365055,"sku":"9781032613727","price":64.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-experimental-turn-in-the-anouar-el-younssi-9781032613727","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
