Writing has come face-to-face with a most crucial juncture: to
negotiate with the inescapable presence of violence. From the
domains of contemporary Middle Eastern literature, this book stages
a powerful conversation on questions of cruelty, evil, rage,
vengeance, madness, and deception. Beyond the narrow judgment of
violence as a purely tragic reality, these writers (in states of
exile, prison, martyrdom, and war) come to wager with the more
elusive, inspiring, and even ecstatic dimensions that rest at the
heart of a visceral universe of imagination. Covering complex and
controversial thematic discussions, Jason Bahbak Mohaghegh forms an
extreme record of voices, movements, and thought-experiments drawn
from the inner circles of the Middle Eastern region. By exploring
the most abrasive writings of this vast cultural front, the book
reveals how such captivating outsider texts could potentially
redefine our understanding of violence and its now-unstoppable
relationship to a dangerous age.
