This dazzling anthology features the work of seventynine outstanding writers from all over the Arabspeaking world, from Morocco in the west to Iraq in the east, Syria in the north to Sudan in the south.Edited by Denys JohnsonDavies, called by Edward Said the leading ArabictoEnglish translator of our time, this treasury of Arab voices is diverse in styles and concerns, but united by a common language. It spans the full history of modern Arabic literature, from its roots in western cultural influence at the end of the nineteenth century to the presentday flowering of Naguib Mahfouzs literary sons and daughters. Among the Egyptian writers who laid the foundation for the Arabic literary renaissance are the great Tawfik alHakim; the short story pioneer Mahmoud Teymour; and Yusuf Idris, who embraced Egypts vibrant spoken vernacular. An excerpt from the Sudanese writer Tayeb Salihs novel Season of Migration to the North, one of the Arab worlds finest, appears alongside the Libyan writer Ibrahim alKonis tales of the Tuaregs of North Africa, the Iraqi writer Mohamed Khudayirs masterly story Clocks Like Horses, and the work of such women writers as Lebanons Hanan alShaykh and Moroccos Leila Abouzeid.
