Description
xThis long-awaited sequel to the classic Genesis of Arabic Narrative Discourse investigates a number of crucial questions related to the genre's development. For example, can the study of this genre provide us with wider insights into the culture as a whole? And how have writers in one Arab country influenced those in others?
These are just some of the issues addressed through close reading of authors such as Yusuf Idris, 'Abd al-Rahman al-Sharqawi, and Edwar al-Kharrat, among others.
Sabry Hafez is a professor of modern Arabic and comparative literature at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London.
