Abstract This thesis is a detailed literary analysis of the innovative elements in the novels of four of the most significant contemporary Arab authors: the Moroccan Muhammad Barrada, the Egyptian Idwar al-Kharrat, the Lebanese Ilyas KhuTI and the Iraqi Fu3ad al-Takarlt. These novels were published between 1979 and 1999, a period during which the work of these authors reached literary maturity. While this thesis (unlike many critical studies of Arabic fiction written in English) is based on close textual analysis of the texts in question, it places its findings within a wider framework: its introduction (the first part of an essay on literary innovation) defines what is meant by innovation in the Arabic novel; its conclusion (the second part of that essay), is an attempt to connect the innovative methods adopted by the above mentioned writers with the wider literary scene: it shows how these writers have contributed to promoting some of the mam innovative trends of the Arabic novel in the last few decades. In adopting a literary approach to these novels, we have considered how the writers' formal choices and techniques have shaped the content of their texts. In this way, we have not only highlighted the importance which the novelists' socio-political discourse assumes in Arab societies, but have also underlined how this discourse is more or less successful because of its artistic merits. The first chapter of this thesis deals with the highly fragmented nature of these texts (lack of ordered development or plot); the second chapter tackles the problems inherent in narrative voice and the position of the authors within their texts; the third chapter explores the intertextual connections these writers use to shape a certain discourse; the fourth chapter deals with the way these novelists promote a self-referential kind of fiction.

Tawfiq, al-Masarriit ura-tl-auija" by FuJad al-Takarli: (p. 459) INTRODUCTION On Literary Innooation. (part 1). In 1997, the May/June issue of the prestigious Lebanese literary magazine al-Adiib was dedicated to the topic of experimentation and innovation in the Arabic novel.! In his brief introduction, editor-in­ chief Samah Idrrs first explains that he wants this special issue to deal with the "new" and the "lively" in the Arabic novel through an analysis of specific examples, instead of relying on Western literary theories. He then adds that the impressive response of the readers, writers and critics to such topics- shows a growing interest in new novelistic styles which, unlike old techniques, keep abreast with a life which has become unpredictable, quickly changing (Idris 1997: 19). Our approach to the same topic (innovation within the realm of contemporary Arabic fiction) has some features in common with Idris's: in particular, we will rely on a close textual analysis of certain novels which present significant innovative features. However, we will also refer to literary theories and draw parallels between the Arabic novels studied and non-Arabic fictional texts. First, let us shed light on the criteria behind the selection of such texts. The focus of this study is a number of novels which have been published during the last quarter of a century (the first being published in 1979, the last in 1998).3 These were written by Arab 1 For an overview on the history of the magazine and its importance as far as literary matters in the Arab world are concerned, see Ruocco 1999. 2 So impressive that the magazine actually dedicated two issues to the Arabic novel: the one mentioned above and the following. Idris's main reaction to such a positive response confirms the impression of most critics of contemporary Arabic literature: in the last few decades the novel has acquired such a status that it is considered the privileged literary genre. 3 Our starting point is the year in which al-Kharrat's ground-breaking novel Hiima tua-tl-tinnin. appeared (the author himself financed the first publication and the novel was published one year 1 writers of different nationalities who, according to most critics (Arab and Western scholars of modern Arabic fiction), have significantly contributed to innovation in the Arabic novel in the period defined above. The Iraqi novelist Fu:Jad al-Takarh (born 1927, Baghdad) has received less critical attention than others and the innovative elements in his work (wrongly but maybe inevitably, as we will show below) have often been overlooked. The other main writers whose work is analysed below are Idwar al-Kharrat (b. 1926, Alexandria), Ilyas Khuri (b. 1948, Beirut) and Muhammad Barr-ada (b. 1938, Rabatj.! This study aims at filling a gap in the field of criticism (in English) of the contemporary Arabic novel. The gap is both quantitative and qualitative. First of all, the studies in English focusing on writers of the previous generations, dominated by Najtb Mahfuz (b. 1911), outnumber those about the next generation of writers (with whom we are dealing here). More importantly, it is evident that today Arabic fiction is often read by Western academic later in Beirut by al-Mu"assasa al-Carabiyya li-tl-diraeat uxi-il-naehr), The novel has been translated into English as Rama and the Dragon by Ferial Ghazoul and John Verlenden (2002). Hereafter, when lust referred to, the Arabic title of a novel will be followed by the year of its first publication, and the title and date of its published English translation (when available). Subsequent citations win include only the Arabic title, or the first part of it if the novel is frequently mentioned: Rama wa-'l-tinn'in (1979; Rama and the Dragon, 2002), subsequently Rama, When quoting entire passages from these novels, a plain number referring to the page/s of the Arabic edition used will be given, followed by a number in italics referring to the English translation. For those novels for which no published English translation is available, the Arabic title will be foflowed by our translation of it, e.g. Bab al-ehams "The Gate of the Sun" (1998). This novel, by Ilyas KhUri, and Fu"ad al-Takarlf's al-Maearrat wa-'l-awjaC are the most recent of those studied. 4 While the literary quality of the works here analysed and the critical consensus are the most important criteria of selection, we have also deliberately chosen writers who can loosely be said to represent every major region within the Arab world (the East or Iraq, the east of the Mediterranean sea, Egypt and North Africa).

  • 'A Grave for New York' and 'New York
    A Grave for New York and New York 80: Formulating an Arab Identity through the Lens of New York Michelle Hartman From the skyscrapers of mid-town Manhattan to the Brooklyn Bridge, from the Statue of Liberty to the prostitutes of Time Square, from Harlem to Wall Street, images of New York City are some of the most potent representations of the United States around the world. This paper explores how two Arab authors use New York City as a lens through which they for- mulate an Arab identity in and for their literary texts and I am concerned in particular with the way in which gender and race are used in these formulations. The two works I discuss are Adonis’s Qabr min ajl new york (A Grave for New York)1 and Yusuf Idris’s New York 802, published in Arabic in 1971 and 1980 respectively, and both written in Arabic, for an Arab audience. There is no doubt that either work is anything but a scathing critique of New York, used as a metonym for the United States, and in particular its claim to technology and ‘advancement.’ Both pieces clearly advocate resistance to American hegemony in the world and harshly condemn the capitalist greed with which the United States has become syn- onymous throughout the world thus manifesting the political commitment of their authors and conveying a message of Third World solidarity. Michelle Hartman, Assistant Professor Institute of Islamic Studies McGill University, Montreal, Canada 223 Works that deal with relationships between Arabs and Europeans or Arabs and Americans (assumed of course to be distinct categories) are discussed by scholars of Arabic litera- ture as part of the large body of literature dealing with what is usually referred to as the ‘east-west encounter.’ A Grave for New York and New York 80 both certainly fall into this cate- gory and both can also be read more specifically as works that deal with the United States.

Special Collections Handlist of Manuscripts, H 29 JOHN WAIN ARCHIVE MSS 2851-2875; MSS 3124-3137 E97.67 Literary manuscripts of John Barrington Wain (1925-1994) were deposited in Edinburgh University Library in 1974, and subsequently added to by the author until 1986, when the whole deposit was purchased by the Library with the help of the Local Museums Purchase Fund. These manuscripts constitute MSS 2851-2874. Some items were deposited after 1985 and these, along with the manuscripts in the possession of the author at his death were purchased in 1996, with the aid of the National Fund for Acquisitions. These manuscripts constitute MSS 3124-3137. Further manuscripts were found by his family subsequently and were gifted in December 1997: these manuscripts constitute E97.67. This group is not sorted or listed and needs to integrated with MSS 3124-3137 as the material is closely linked with the material in this group, e.g. further mss and tss of his Oxford trilogy. Wain’s incoming correspondence and outgoing letters to Philip Larkin were purchased with the help of the National Fund for Acquisitions in 1999 (E99.01). These are included in MS 2875. The manuscript of his first novel, Hurry on Down (1953), has not survived, but notebooks, mss and typescripts of most of his later novels, short stories, poetry, plays and criticism are present. The list below was compiled at different times, and conventions regarding italicization, etc. are not consistent.

  • My Children, Teaching, and Nimrod the Word
    XIV Passions: My Children, Teaching, and Nimrod The word passion has most often been associated with strong sexual desire or lust. I have felt a good deal of that kind of passion in my life but I prefer not to speak of it at this moment. Instead, it is the appetite for life in a broader sense that seems to have driven most of my actions. Moreover, the former craving is focused on an individual (unless the sexual drive is indiscriminant) and depends upon that individual for a response in order to intensify or even maintain. Fixating on my first husband—sticking to him no matter what his response, not being able to say goodbye to him —almost killed me. I had to shift the focus of my sexual passion to another and another and another in order to receive the spark that would rekindle and sustain me. That could have been dangerous; I was lucky. But with the urge to create, the intense passion to “make something,” there was always another outlet, another fulfillment just within reach. My children, teaching, and Nimrod, the journal I edited for so many years, eased my hunger, provided a way to participate and delight in something always changing and growing. from The passion to give birth to and grow with my children has, I believe, been expressed in previous chapters. I loved every aspect of having children conception, to the four births, three of which I watched in a carefully placed mirror at the foot of the hospital delivery room bed: May 6, 1957, birth of Leslie Ringold; November 8, 1959, birth of John Ringold; August 2, 1961: birth of Jim Ringold; July 27, 1964: birth of Suzanne Ringold (Harman).

There are undeniable similarities between Arabic and Persian poetry because of the long historical ties, similar political and social contexts, close cultural backgrounds and the influence of European culture on their literatures. After the literary revolution occurred under the influence of European culture and literature, attention to modernism is a common approach used by Persian and Arabic poets. In both Arabic and Persian literature, Modern poet expresses his surrounding issues according to the needs of the community. Attention to the culture of the West is a common point closing Forough Farrokhzad and Adunis as two contemporary poets. Due to the different cultural and intellectual situations as well as the degree of their familiarity with the West, they have differences and similarities in the methods and the effects of modernization in the West. Using a descriptive-analytical approach, this article will show that Forough and Adunis have used modern manifestations such as secularism, feminism, nihilism, freedom, deconstruction, city and nationalism in their poems due to their relations with the West under the influence of cultural-political developments in their own societies.

  • The Nobelist for Literature: a Pleasure Unknown to Americans by BEAU FRIEDLANDER Friday, Oct
    The Nobelist for Literature: A Pleasure Unknown to Americans By BEAU FRIEDLANDER Friday, Oct. 07, 2011 ENLARGE PHOTO+ Every year the London-based gambling company Ladbrokes sets odds for customers who want to bet on the next winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature. The list often features a litany of unlikely (at least to American ears) names like Ngugi wa Thiong'o (A Kenyan writer who has not been awarded the prize) and Gao Xingjian (the Chinese Nobel Laureate who won in 2000). There are also familiar names on the list like Alice Munro and Philip Roth. This year was a little different. Music legend Bob Dylan was Ladbrokes' favorite (five-to-one) beating out Syrian poet Adunis (six-to-one) and this year's recipient of the Nobel Prize in Literature, Swedish poet Tomas Tranströmer, who was an outlier at ten-to-one odds. A perennial also-ran on the Ladbrokes' list, Tranströmer is the author of 15 collections of poetry and a memoir entitled Memory Looks at Me. The Nobel Committee's announcement was greeted by thunderous applause from reporters assembled in Stockholm, Tranströmer's hometown. The Nobel Committee cited Transtroemer's work for the way it created "condensed, translucent images" that "gives us fresh access to reality." Although he suffered a stroke in 1990 that left him partially paralyzed and unable to speak, Tranströmer has continued to write poetry and play piano, including pieces composed for left hand specifically for him. His most recent volume of poetry entitled The Great Enigma was published in 2004. Tranströmer's fame outside of the United States comes in part from his own ardent support of poetry in translation.
