This book works on the interface between literature, culture, and
discourse. It is entirely devoted to the reading of some of
Zafzaf's novels that came out in the early 1970s and in the late
1980s, and attempts to chart the trajectory of the aesthetic
imaginary of an exceptional writing experience that marked out the
literary and cultural landscape in Morocco and in the Arab world
for long. Zafzaf and his writings are associated with aspects of
the country's social contradictions, cultural transition, and
political transformations, expressed through various aesthetic
patterns that translate the crisis of the intellectual within a
society weighed down by poverty, political instability, social
conflict, and cultural disintegration. Given the relative scarcity
of resources that are written in English about the Moroccan novel
of Arabic expression, this work is an attempt to theorize and
approach in an interdisciplinary manner a set of narratives that
have not been previously explored in western academia. Using
postcolonial discourse as approach and a metaphor of reading, it
draws attention to the often-neglected texts in Moroccan literature
of Arabic expression and explores their aesthetic, discursive, and
cultural implications that rethink and disturb canonical formations
of literary texts in Morocco. This book will be adopted in the now
burgeoning fields of the Humanities, and will provide useful
resources for courses about Moroccan Literature and culture.
