| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc | The new anthology of the range of Arabic ficton in English translation, compiled by the man described by Edward Said as " the leading Arabic-English translator of our time", samples the novels and short stories of seventy-niine writers from Morocco to Iraq, from 1930's to 2000s. Denys Johnson-Davis has himself produced more than twenty-five volumes of translation from modern Arabic literature, and has followed the progress of this movement from its earliest days when its foundations were laid down by such authors as Taha Hussain, Tawfik al-Hakim, Yahya Hakki, and others in Egypt and similar figures in other parts of the Arab world. He was the first to translate Naguib Mahfouz and introduced the Sudanese writer Tayeb Salih to the world. The short stories and extracts from novels in this this anthology range from the experimental to the masterful, from fantasy to social realism and give the reader the broadest possible picture of the state of Arabic writing society.--BOOK JACKET. |
