This volume is designed as an introduction to the contemporary
Egyptian author Sonallah Ibrahim, one of the most important Arabic
novelists of the modern era, with an unrivalled reputation for
independence and integrity among contemporary Egyptian writers. The
first study in any language devoted exclusively to Sonallah
Ibrahim, the volume discusses each of the author's novels
individually, beginning with the seminal Tilka al-ra'iha [That
Smell] (1966) and ending with al-Jalid [Ice] (2011). Each work is
discussed individually in its literary, social, historical and
political context. The volume traces the evolution of Sonallah
Ibrahim's work in terms both of their themes and of their literary
technique, and concludes with an attempt at an overall evaluation
of the author's contribution to the contemporary Egyptian novel.
Paul Starkey's account shows how innovative and stylistically rich
the Arabic novel has become over a period of some fifty years,
beyond the better-known work of writers such as Naguib Mahfouz and
Yusuf Idris. As such, the volume will serve as an introduction not
only to the individual author but also to the development of
Egyptian (and, more generally, Arabic) literature over the last
half century.
