paperback. Condition: Very Good. Most of our very good books have only minor imperfections such as shelf wear consistent with a new book that's sat on a bookshop shelf for a year or two. Occasionally we may miss other minor imperfections as we have to grade books at speed. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing.

Paperback. Condition: New. Ibtihal Salem's writing provides an excellent forum for studying both everyday life in Egypt and current literary experimentation in the Middle East. Her poignant pieces hover between the structure of story-telling, the visuality of vignettes, and the compression of poetry. They both record and evoke a literary ferment going on in Egypt today. Salem's writing of the last thirty years is lauded for its social messages also. Finding the expression of sexuality necessary to explicate problems of Egyptian identity, Salem often links poverty to gender marginality. Her heroines, however, celebrate the heritages that have shaped them, even as they resist certain aspects of them. Like many writers in Egypt, Salem honors traditional folktales, even as she deals with contemporary problems from class and economic perspectives. Marilyn Booth, one of the best translators of Arabic fiction working today, has dealt in her introduction to this collection with the unusual experimental form by examining Salem's craft as well as the contextual history surrounding the stories. Since Salem is writing "across genres," Booth helps the reader also by opening each piece with an explanatory comment, often quoting the author, and thus further illuminating Salem's portrayals of lives bounded by Egypt's waters-the Canal, the Nile, and the Mediterranean.…

Condition: Good. First Edition. Ibtihal Jadib schreef ruim vijf jaar een veelgelezen column voor Volkskrant Magazine, eerst onder het pseudoniem Hayat, maar sinds twee jaar onder haar eigen naam. Haar columns zijn scherp, ongemeen geestig en sprankelend. Ze schrijft over alles wat er zoal voorbijdendert in het leven: een bijzonder museumbezoek met haar ouders, deftige contactadvertenties in de krant, de door haar kinderen opgedrongen poes, praktische boerkamode en vrouwen die maar blijven zeuren over abortusrechten. Met een twinkeling pent ze haar observaties neer.; Goed/Zeer goed exemplaar.…
