Out el Kouloub (18921968) is an author whose voice is just becoming heard in the United States. A member of the Muslim aristocracy in Egypt, she wrote unforgettable novels, mostly about Egyptian women of varying social classes and about family life in a traditional society. Like most members of the aristocracy, she wrote in French. In Zanouba, the reader is treated to vivid scenes of Egyptian middleclass life, starting in the 1900s. Abundant in traditional poems, songs, sayings, and rituals, the story of Zanouba enhances our understanding of certain deeply seated aspects of Egyptian life: the practicesincluding elaborate ritualsinvolved in guaranteeing the birth of a son; the jealousy and anger of the barren wife. Out el Kouloub's lush documentation bridges past and present while telling a tale that is both believable and touching.
