'This finely nuanced, clearly written and comprehensive study introduces readers to the writing of one of Egypt's most prominent, accomplished and controversial writers of fiction in the last half-century.'Roger Allen, Emeritus Professor, University of PennsylvaniaAn introduction to the novels of the contemporary Egyptian author Sonallah IbrahimSonallah Ibrahim is one of the most important Arabic novelists of the modern era, with an unrivalled reputation for independence and integrity among contemporary Egyptian writers. Here, each of the author's novels is discussed individually, beginning with the influential Tilka al-ra'iha [That Smell] (1966) and ending with al-Jalid [Ice] (2011), with each work discussed in its literary, social, historical and political context.The volume traces the evolution of Sonallah Ibrahim's work both thematically and in terms of his literary technique, and concludes with an attempt at an overall evaluation of the author's contribution to the contemporary Egyptian novel. Paul Starkey's account shows how innovative and stylistically rich the Arabic novel has become over a period of some fifty years, beyond the better-known work of writers such as Naguib Mahfouz and Yusuf Idris. As such, the volume will serve as an introduction not only to the individual author but also to the development of Egyptian (and, more generally, Arabic) literature over the last half century.Paul Starkey was, until his retirement in 2012, Professor of Arabic and Head of the Arabic Department at Durham University. He is co-editor of the Encyclopedia of Arabic Literature (1998) and author of Modern Arabic Literature (Edinburgh University Press, 2006).Cover image: © Marc MelkiCover design:[EUP logo]edinburghuniversitypress.com [please note new web address]ISBN 978-0-7486-4132-1Barcode
