Female Genital Mutilation in African Literature Tobe Levin and Augustine H. Asaah, editors “A thorough discussion and education on the subject of female circumcision—whether driven by rage, empathy, or engagement—is important. By focusing on creative writing as the site of discussion, this book provides a multifaceted education. A must read.” —NGUGI WA THIONG’O “An important collection on an important subject that some misguided cultural nationalists would rather keep wrapped under the silences and perversions of tradition.... It derives its freshness and power from its excavation of representations in the works of African and Diasporan writers.” —PAUL TIYAMBE ZELEZA This pioneering collection discusses representations of female genital mutilation as a theme in literary art. The contributors—both scholars and activists—join together to analyze African and African American literature in the context of the debate between those who see FGM as a time-honored tradition and those who recognize it as an egregious human rights abuse. Tobe Levin is professor of English and women’s studies at the University of Maryland University College Europe. Augustine H. Asaah is associate professor of modern languages at the University of Ghana, where he pioneered research into African feminist literature and gender-based violence in African fiction.

Kalu, editor Véronique Tadjo, translated by Amy Baram Reid “A Herculean labor of dedication and love.... The incontestable value of this anthology is in its gathering together of, and making available, materials which show the range, richness and variety of the corpus.... Every undergraduate library in the country should have a copy ... on its shelves.” “With Queen Pokou, Tadjo has given a clear and magnificent rendition of an Akan classic of this tragic motif. In an English version that seems not to have lost anything in translation, this poetic narrative is as lyrical as it is cerebrally compelling.” —AMA ATA AIDOO —SAUL STEIER, SAN FRANCISCO HUMANITIES REVIEW FOR CO U ED $ FOREWORD M AG A Z I N E ’ S R E F E R E N C E B O O K O F T H E Y E A R , 2 0 0 7 ! ea.

The pieces are organized chronologically within geographic region and enhanced by both introductory material and biographical notes on each writer.

But it is also much more than that. Telling and retelling the story, changing key elements each time—what if the queen saved her son? what if she went crazy from grief? what if she ended up on a slave ship? and so on—Véronique Tadjo explores both intimate personal relationships and broad historical themes. Her multiple retellings of events surrounding the founding of the Baoule invites discussion not only of the past, but also about the challenges of the present, most notably the bloody ethnic wars that have engulfed West Africa in recent decades. Both enchantingly poetic and deceptively simple, Queen Pokou received the prestigious Grand Prix littéraire d’Afrique noire in 2005. Véronique Tadjo, a widely acclaimed African Francophone writer, is head of French studies at the School of Literature and Language Studies at the University of Witswatersrand in South Africa. 2010/70 pages ISBN: 978-0-9555079-9-1 pb $14.50 Distributed for Ayebia Clarke Publishing No rights in Europe or Africa The Blind Kingdom Véronique Tadjo, translated by Janis A. Mayes The Blind Kingdom is a collection of short stories and poetic texts woven together to illustrate an African society on the brink of collapse. Writing in 1960 at a time when Côte d’Ivoire was in chaos after declaring its independence from France, Véronique Tadjo explores themes of love, independence, and renewal as she creates a new world of hope and creativity. Her illuminating political allegory will resonate with contemporary readers as they draw parallels between Côte d’Ivoire’s crisis of forty years ago and the turmoil facing the country today. This edition includes an afterword by the translator, Janis Mayes, as well as Professor Mayes’ interview with the author. 2008/106 pages ISBN: 978-0-9555079-1-5 pb $15.95 Distributed for Ayebia Clarke Publishing No rights in Europe and Africa 2 LY N N E R I E N N E R P U B L I S H E R S W W W. R I E N N E R . C O M 3 Masculinities in African Literary and Cultural Texts NEW! Helen Nabasuta Mugambi and Tuzyline Jita Allan, editors Benjamin Kwakye “This impressive collection provides many answers and is destined to become a staple in the library.” Praised as one of the most accomplished of a new generation of African novelists—and perhaps the most important Ghanaian writer since Ayi Kwei Armah—Benjamin Kwakye establishes a powerful connection with the reader in his story of a young African man’s immigrant experience. The protagonist in The Other Crucifix immerses himself in American college life, a new life that alienates him in more ways than one from his native Africa. As the years pass, memories of Ghana fade until his uncle’s death in a coup d’état triggers a crucial reawakening. Benjamin Kwakye is author of The Clothes of Nakedness (awarded the 1999 Commonweath Writers’ Prize for Best First Book, Africa) and The Sun by Night (awarded the 2006 Commonweath Writers’ Prize, Africa). Born in Ghana, he attended Dartmouth College and Harvard Law School and now lives in Chicago. The Other Crucifix a novel —CAROLE BOYCE DAVIES “Offers important insights that both clarify and complicate our hitherto stereotypical notions of masculinities in Africa.” —KOFI ANYIDOHO “Every chapter here makes a significant contribution to the growing theoretical and analytical scholarship in the field. The editors deserve commendation for putting together important materials that have opened up a new dimension in Cultural and Gender Studies.” —ABDUL-RASHEED N’ALLAH Focusing on the ways in which men are represented and problematized in African literary and other cultural expression, this collection represents a ground-breaking intervention in a field that is largely woman-centered. The book, with its multigenre approach, will serve as a vital and much-needed resource for both scholars and students. Helen Nabasuta Mugambi is associate professor of English and comparative literature at California State University, Fullerton. Tuzyline Jita Allan is professor of English at Baruch College.

Badian tells the story of a village family in an African country under French rule. The family’s father and the eldest son revere the customs of their ancestors, while the younger children are strongly attracted by European ways and ideas. The inevitable conflict intensifies when the daughter, who has fallen in love with her Westernized schoolmate, is promised in marriage to a merchant who already has two wives. As the story unfolds, it is traditional African wisdom, generous to all perspectives and faithful to both generations, that resolves the family’s problems. First published in French (as Sous l’orage) in 1954. Seydou Badian was a member of the second generation of African intellectuals that rose to defend the value of their own culture and to take a greater role in their political future. After the establishment of the Republic of Mali in 1960, he was leader of the radical Marxist group in the government of Modibo Keita, and he spent 10 years in prison after Keita’s 1968 overthrow. Marie-Thérèse Noiset is associate professor of French at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. 1998/116 pages ISBN: 978-0-89410-793-1 ISBN: 978-0-89410-794-8 LC: 95-51197 hc $25/£19.95 pb $12.50/£9.95 W W W.

Nervous Conditions a novel A Fine Madness Tsitsi Dangarembga, with a new introduction by Kwame Anthony Appiah a novel Mashingaidze Gomo “An absorbing page-turner that will delight the reader.” —BLOOMSBURY REVIEW “From the first days of its publication, it was obvious that Nervous Conditions had the makings of a classic: a timeless coming-of-age tale, great lyrical narrative, unforgettable characters, and courageous. Sixteen years down the line, this notion has been amply confirmed.” —AMA ATA AIDOO “Dangarembga’s characters are fascinating, and the issue of freedom is examined dispassionately and firmly. A unique and valuable book.” —BOOKLIST Dangarembga’s acclaimed first novel tells of the coming-of-age of Tambu and, through her, also offers a profound portrait of African society. In awarding Nervous Conditions the Commonwealth Writers’ Prize for Africa in 1989, the judges described the book as “a beautiful and sensitive exploration of the plight and struggle of an African people.... A distinguishing feature of this work is its courageous honesty and devastating understatement.” Tsitsi Dangarembga lived and studied in both England and Germany before returning to her native Zimbabwe. She currently is working on the third novel in the trilogy that began with Nervous Conditions and continues in The Book of Not. 2004/224 pages ISBN: 978-0-9547023-3-5 pb $17.95 “This is a masterful work…. I found it powerful, as powerful as the fiction of the early Marechera.” —SIMON GIKANDI Combining powerful prose and evocative poetry, Mashingaidze Gomo’s first novel reflects on the nature of war and the fate of African identities during Zimbabwe’s struggle for independence. Gomo’s poignant portrait follows a warrior who fights Africa’s wars in places where the battlefronts keep changing, but the enemy remains the same—and where foreign influences continue to dictate the direction of his and Africa’s future. Negotiating the fine line between literary and political genres, A Fine Madness reiterates the scars left by colonialism. Mashingaidze Gomo, a native of Zimbabwe, was a member of the Zimbabwean Defence Forces in 1984–2007. His work is already being compared to such classics in the African literary canon as Franz Fanon’s The Wretched of the Earth, Aime Cesaire’s Discourse on Colonialism, and Okot p’Bitek’s Song of Lawino and Song of Ocol.

Life ‘happens’ to Tambu and she must make another journey.... This is a most engrossing and provocative sequel [and one] that already begs another.” —NANA WILSON-TAGOE “A most intensely felt and remembered book that reproduces the feel, sight, sound, and emotion of an African convent boarding school a quarter of a century ago.... No book I have read conveys so powerfully and truthfully the wounds of cultural colonialism.” —TERRENCE RANGER www.rienner.com Our new website now offers free shipping on US and Canadian orders of $25 or more. If you haven’t visited us recently, please stop by soon! “This is, as its title suggests, a book about denial and unfulfilled expectations, about the theft of the self that remains one of colonialism’s most pernicious legacies. Through all of this, however, it remains funny and engaging, a tale of adolescent rivalry and misadventure, narrated in a style that blends the sardonic with the lyrical.” —CHRIS WARNES This sequel to the award-winning Nervous Conditions traces Tambu’s continuing quest to redefine the personal, political, and historical forces at work in her complex world. 2006/256 pages ISBN: 978-0-9547023-7-3 pb $19.95 Distributed for Ayebia Clarke Publishing No rights in Europe and Africa 6 W W W.

McLuckie and Patrick J. Colbert, and Change in Africa Margaret Jean Hay, editor Annie Gagiano “Hay has edited nothing short of an instantly invaluable resource for teachers of African studies.... perhaps the most useful resource I have found for teachers of African literature and African studies at the college level.” —DONALD E. LANDRUM, MULTICULTURAL REVIEW editors Poet, activist, teacher, and scholar, Dennis Brutus is one of the foremost names in African literature—as a creative force, a cultural influence, and a personality. Exploring Brutus’s life and writings, this collection opens with a biographical introduction to his “art and activism,” covering his childhood, his university days, his arrest and imprisonment in 1964–1965, his years in exile, and his eventual return to South Africa in 1991. Subsequent essays focus on Brutus’s poetry, though his politics are not ignored, and several pieces are personal accounts of meetings with the writer. The book includes an interview with Brutus and an annotated bibliography. Craig W. McLuckie is professor of English at Okanagan University College in Canada. Patrick J.

It is the story of five women who wait for their husbands during the long years of struggle against apartheid. Njabulo S.

This absorbingly fine novel is a leafed score of reflection and sardonic wit, as well as a gripping page turner.” —ANDRIES OLIPHANT, SOUTH AFRICAN SUNDAY TIMES “Nkosi’s is a voice that needs to be heard.” —HENRY LOUIS GATES, JR. Following on his awarding-winning Mating Birds, Lewis Nkosi’s second novel is a tour de force. Nkosi takes us from mansions to mountain hideouts, introducing a dazzling array of characters. Switching from comedy to sensitive observation to action, and with doubledealing operatives and political shenanigans, Underground People blends elements of a political thriller in a sophisticated human drama. Lewis Nkosi is an eminent critic, novelist, and essayist. A writer for Drum magazine in its 1950s heyday, he later went into exile from South Africa, pursuing his academic career elsewhere in Africa, in the United States, and in Europe.

McLuckie and Aubrey McPhail, LY N N E R I E N N E R P U B L I S H E R S “Bernth Lindfors ... [is] to be congratulated for recovering for the Tutuola reader, forty years on, that early vivid freshness and raw intensity in this new edition of the author’s —DEREK WRIGHT, first written work.” CRNLE REVIEWS JOURNAL “A lively, colourful tale, unadulterated by any long-winded words or pretentious ideas. The story is told as if it were coming directly from the teller’s mouth.” —MARY HARPER, WEST AFRICA The manuscript for this novel, written in 1948, was hidden in a file in London for more than thirty years, until unearthed by Bernth Lindfors. The present edition of the book, its first publication other than a limited facsimile edition in 1982, incorporates minor revisions made by Tutuola during a visit to the United States in 1983, when he corrected obvious errors and restructured several passages. The first long prose fiction written by a Nigerian author for publication in English, Wild Hunter is a classic example of Tutuola’s blend of Yoruba and Christian theology, local folkloric archetypes, and African oral tradition. Amos Tutuola (1920–1997) is recognized as a founding father of 20th century Nigerian literature. Among his most celebrated novels, all written in his distinctive Yoruba-influenced version of English, is The Palm-Wine Drunkard (1952), also adapted into a play. 1989/126 pages ISBN: 978-0-89410-452-7 ISBN: 978-0-89410-453-4 “The editors have done an outstanding job of bringing together first-rate minds to cover the multiple dimensions of Saro-Wiwa’s writing and political career.... The bibliography is extensive and impressive.... This is probably the most comprehensive book to date analyzing Saro-Wiwa’s creativity.” —TOYIN FALOLA, CANADIAN JOURNAL OF AFRICAN STUDIES “The McLuckie-McPhail volume [strikes] ... the right balance between honoring the man and criticizing his patent excesses. The detailed bibliography, careful organization of essays, and diversity of information in this volume also make it an outstanding contribution to African literary studies, the best resource on Saro-Wiwa to date.” —CHRISTOPHER WISE, “This collection will be useful not only for linguists, but for anyone that takes Akan culture seriously, from anthropologists to historians, to cultural critics.... It is a veritable treasure trove.” —ATO QUAYSON “Invaluable…. Our languages cannot grow as literary languages unless we also develop tools that will enable their effective use. Our languages must be in dialogue with not only the languages of Europe, but also those of Africa and Asia. This work is an important step in that direction.” —NGUGI WA THIONG’O This invaluable bilingual collection of more than 7,000 Akan proverbs reveals the nuances of Akan and Asante life and culture. Kwame Anthony Appiah’s introduction to the volume contextualizes the proverbs, revealing the wit and wisdom of the Akan language and demonstrating how the proverbs can be compared with philosophical musings from a wide range of other countries. The late Peggy Appiah was awarded the MBE by Queen Elizabeth II for her distinguished promotion of Anglo-Ghanaian cultural and creative enterprises.

This interdisciplinary collection critically assesses SaroWiwa’s exceptional life and work from a range of fresh perspectives. The authors examine Saro-Wiwa’s literary output both in terms of literary criticism and within a political framework.

Saro-Wiwa’s criticisms of the corrupt regime eventually led to his execution, along with eight others, in November 1995. This edition also includes previously unpublished letters smuggled to and from SaroWiwa during his final imprisonment—including correspondence with Nelson Mandela, Nadine Gordimer, and Ethel Kennedy, as well as other concerned people from around the world—and a letter written by Ken Wiwa to his late father. On September 3, 1993, Saro-Wiwa wrote to the president of International PEN: “The writer is his cause. I am more and more convinced ... that the path of literature is the assured way to human salvation and civilisation. I hail the power of the pen.” That power is abundantly, and poignantly, displayed in this volume. 2006/240 pages ISBN: 978-0-9547023-5-9 pb $26.50 Distributed for Ayebia Clarke Publishing No rights in Europe and Africa W W W.

Adams and Esi Sutherland-Addy, editors Islam and the West African Novel: The Yambo Ouologuem: “These intellectually stimulating reminiscences provide invigorating accounts of Sutherland's pragmatic and progressive visionary approach to African education and culture.” —KWADWO OSEI-NYAME, JR. The City Where No One Dies Politics of Representation Postcolonial Writer, Islamic Militant Ahmed S. Bangura Christopher Wise, editor Bernard Dadié, translated by Janis A. Mayes “Bangura has produced an original and pioneering study that is likely to define the critical tradition of African literature of Islamic orientation for many years to come.” “The first three parts of the book constitute an essential source for study of the reception of Ouologuem.... It is, however, the concluding accounts of Wise’s own research in the field which make this volume indispensable for future discussion of Ouologuem and open the path for innovative in vivo research into —GEORGE LANG, African writing.” In this witty and ironic reversal of the typical colonial travelogue, Dadié recounts the journey of a bemused African traveler who settles in Rome, continuing his inquiries into the fundamental nature of humankind. Part conqueror, part pilgrim, part worshipper, and part critic, the protagonist compares Roman and African customs, traditions, history, and above all, personalities. Dadié’s account of the rewards and pitfalls of exploring other cultures is spiced with a generous enthusiasm and respect for life and all its eccentricities. First published in French in 1968. Bernard Dadié, born near Abidjan in 1916, is a prolific Ivorian novelist, playwright, and poet. He was Côte d’Ivoire’s minister of culture in 1977–1986. In his writing, influenced by his experiences of colonialism as a child, Dadié attempts to connect the messages of traditional African folktales with the contemporary world. Janis A. Mayes is associate professor of comparative African literatures in the Department of African, Caribbean, and African-American Literatures at Syracuse University. —ALAMIN MAZRUI, JOURNAL OF ISLAMIC STUDIES “An original and provocative narrative.... [Bangura’s] book offers a rich panoply of themes and issues to consider in the analysis of Islam in African fiction.” —ROBERTA ANN DUNBAR, AFRICAN STUDIES REVIEW “Bangura has produced a pioneering study of unmistakable strength.” —ALAMIN MAZRUI, RESEARCH IN AFRICAN LITERATURES “A wealth of well-documented information on literary, historical, philosophical, and mundane aspects of Ouologuem’s work.” —ROBERT P. SMITH JR., WORLD LITERATURE TODAY RESEARCH IN AFRICAN LITERATURES Ahmed Bangura argues that a deeply ingrained pattern of prejudice toward Islam in European-language writing on Africa has led to serious misreadings of many West African novels. Bangura discusses the historical and sociological contexts of Islam in subSaharan Africa, providing a framework for the study of West African novels with an Islamic subtext. Contrasting his own reading of the novels of Sembène Ousmane, Aminata Sow Fall, and Ibrahim Tahir with that of traditional Western critics, his analysis also features Wole Soyinka, Deborah Boyd-Buggs, Mohamadou Kane, Ali Mazrui, Cheikh Hamidou Kane, Ahmadou Kourouma, Mbaye Cham, and Kenneth Harrow.

C O M 15 African Love Stories: An Anthology Maghrebian Mosaic: Ama Ata Aidoo, editor A Literature in Transition Mildred Mortimer, editor This collection of contemporary love stories by women from Africa and the African Diaspora combines the tentative freshness of budding writers with the confidence of established and award-winning authors. The anthology debunks preconceived notions about African women as impoverished victims, showing their strength, complexity, and diversity. The stories deal with a range of challenging themes—including taboo subjects such as same-sex relationships, domestic violence, female circumcision, and ageism—to produce a melting pot of narratives from multiple informed perspectives. Contributors include Sindiwe Magona and Antjie Krog from South Africa; Véronique Tadjo from Côte d’Ivoire; Leila Aboulela from Sudan; Nawal El Saadawi from Egypt; Helen Oyeyemi, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Sarah Manyika, Sefi Atta, and Promise Ogochukwu from Nigeria; Yaba Badoe from Ghana; Wangui wa Goro from Kenya; and Doreen Baingana and Monica Arac de Nyeko from Uganda.

It is as beautiful and haunting as it is affirming and challenging. Above all, it challenges our sense of what we think are African stories.” —SIMON GIKANDI “Nile Baby is Grange Hill crossed with Frankenstein—a fascinating read.” —GILES FODEN, THE GUARDIAN Nile Baby tells the story of two quirky young friends who discover a 90-year-old fetus in the laboratory storeroom of their school. This imaginative and daring novel explores the boundaries between the living and the dead and between the “other” and ourselves. With its resonances of Conrad and Achebe, it also confronts the restless ghosts of the past that reside in the most unexpected places of our psyche. The book will appeal to those familiar with African fiction, as well as newcomers to the genre.

A useful mosaic assessment of the present state of North African francophone literature.” —MARY ANNE HARSH, RESEARCH IN AFRICAN LITERATURE “Maghrebian Mosaic will not only introduce readers to a number of established and emerging francophone Maghribi writers, but also provide them with a wide-ranging overview of current movements in the study of francophone Maghribi literature.” —SUZANNE GAUCH, NORTH AFRICAN STUDIES When Albert Memmi published the first anthology of francophone Maghrebian literature, he expressed his unhappy belief that francophone writing would quickly be eclipsed by Arabic. To the contrary, this volume demonstrates that the francophone writing of North Africa remains vibrant and prolific. Throughout the collection, the uneasy and ambiguous relationship between the Maghrebian writer and the French language is evident, as is the ongoing political nature of North African literature.

Not only Idris' style, but also his social concerns, characters, and situations add up to a unique voice that readers of English are fortunate to have the opportunity to enjoy.” —WASHINGTON REPORT ON MIDDLE EAST AFFAIRS Idris developed a form of expression new to Arabic literary tradition, deliberately distinguishing between the colloquial Arabic spoken by his characters and the classical form that he used as narrator. This innovation at first raised an outcry among Arab critics, who disparaged his deviation from tradition; eventually, however, his work came to be valued as a purely indigenous product and a stark expression of himself. 1989/196 pages ISBN: 978-0-89410-666-8 LC: 89-20355 pb $14.95 No rights in Australia, Canada, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, and the UK edited by Roger Allen “Allen has made a judicious and balanced selection....

BOULLATA, WORLD LITERATURE TODAY 20 LY N N E R I E N N E R P U B L I S H E R S —ANNIE GREET, CRNLE REVIEWS JOURNAL “I enjoy playing in the small square between the archway and the takiya [monastery] where the Sufis live. Like all the other children, I admire the mulberry trees in the takiya garden, the only bit of green in the whole neighborhood. Our tender hearts yearn for their dark berries. But it stands like a fortress, this takiya, circled by its garden wall. Its stern gate is broken and always, like the windows, shut. Aloof isolation drenches the whole compound. Our hands stretch toward this wall—reaching for the moon.” So begins Naguib Mahfouz’s Fountain and Tomb, a kaleidoscopic novel set in Cairo during the 1920s. The narrator tells tales of the street—of separated lovers, childhood games, workers, neighbors, loneliness. In his alley, his small slice of Egypt, he finds the excitement and harshness of Cairo at the one end, and the withdrawn but beautiful world of the sanctuary at the other. Nobel laureate Naguib Mahfouz is one of Egypt’s most beloved writers. This translation of Fountain and Tomb won Columbia University’s 1986 Arab League Translation Award. 1988/120 pages ISBN: 978-0-89410-581-4 pb $16/£12.50 LC: 86-51004 pb $13.95/£10.95 Bab el-Oued a novel Merzak Allouache, translated by Angela M.

The novel reads as an intriguing kaleidoscope, as intricate as a finely patterned prayer mat, as quickly brilliant as a discreet jewel.... The tales are warming, bizarre, frightening, frustrating—as, of course, is life.” Bored housewives, kept in seclusion, smuggling in Harlequin romances. Modish young men transformed into Islamic militants in beards and white robes. A baker unwittingly caught in a web of intrigue, an imam whose faith is tested by urban corruption, a lonely divorcee—all take part in Merzak Allouache’s compelling novel of a society on the brink of crisis. Allouache tells the story of the people of Bab el-Oued, a poor neighborhood in contemporary Algiers. His experience as a filmmaker lends the work a cinematic quality, bringing it vibrantly and immediately to life. Through his words, we come to appreciate the human costs of economic and political decline, and also to understand something of the reasons underlying the power of new and violent forms of Islamic militancy. “I wrote this book,” said Algerian director Merzak Allouache, “to exorcise the many frustrations that arose when making the film Bab el-Oued City in Algiers. Writing the book gave me a sense of freedom not possible with the constraints of the camera.” Bab el-Oued City is Allouache’s fifth full-length film. 1998/133 pages ISBN: 978-0-89410-860-0 LC: 98-38470 pb $14.95 No rights in the EU or the Commonwealth (except Canada) W W W.

Highly recommended.

A brilliant Sudanese student takes his mix of anger and obsession with the West to London, where he has affairs with women who are similarly obsessed with the mysterious East. Life, ecstasy, and death share the same moment in time. First published in Arabic in 1969. Tayeb Salih, a native of Sudan, is one of the most acclaimed of contemporary Arab writers. In 2001, Season of Migration to the North was selected by the Arab Literary Academy in Damascus as the most important Arab novel of the twentieth century.

Recommended for all academic collections, stories in this volume can be perused and analyzed by students of literature, literary form, and area studies at all levels.” —CHOICE For more than five decades, Tawfiq alHakim (1898–1987) was a dominant, influential, and controversial voice in modern Arabic and Egyptian literature.

It will assuredly serve to enhance Tawfiq al-Hakim’s already outstanding reputation in the West.” —JOHN HAYWOOD, WORLD LITERATURE TODAY Al-Hakim’s first novel tells the story of a young patriotic Egyptian artist in 1918–1919 Egypt. For some critics, this remains al-Hakim’s greatest novel, synthesizing Western and Islamic cultural and philosophical systems and treating issues of social justice, changing mores, and religious conflicts.
