Summary This book introduces Western readers to some of the most significant novels written in Arabic since 1979. Relying on literary theory and referring to comparative examples from other literatures, this study places its findings within a wider framework, defining what is meant by innovation in the Arabic novel, and the particular socio-political context in which it appears. This book will significantly enrich the existing critical literature in English on the contemporary Arabic novel as the writers it analyses are still relatively unknown to the English-speaking reader.
