520 In 1960s Egypt a group of writers exploded onto the
literary scene, transforming the aesthetic landscape.
Space in Modern Egyptian Fiction explores how this
literary generation presents a marked shift in the
representation of rural, urban and exilic space,
reflecting a disappointment with the project of the
postcolonial nation-state in Egypt. Combining a
sociological approach to literature with detailed close
readings, Yasmine Ramadan explores the spatial
representations that embodied this shift within the
Egyptian literary scene and the disappearance of an
idealized nation in the Egyptian novel. This study
provides a robust examination of the emergence and
establishment of some of the most significant writers in
modern Egyptian literature, and their influence across six
decades, while also tracing the social, economic,
political and aesthetic changes that marked this period in
Egypt's contemporary history.--|cProvided by publisher.
