In addition, he lectures and writes on contemporary Arabic literature and has published translations of Egyptian and North African fiction. His translation into English of the Algerian Arabic novel, The Earthquake, was published in March, 2000. Gramara’s work on literary criticism focuses on postcolonialism and cross cultural poetics.
