- Summary:
- A new movement is emerging in Egyptian literature -- urban in its energies; cosmopolitan in its national, Arabic, and western influences; independent and rowdy in its voices. Now one of Egypt's most honored translators and writers has gathered a selection of this postmodern writing in one place for the first time. With its edginess and play of styles, this collection showcases a dynamic, emergent scene.
