Zusatztext "The author extensively uses the multi-faceted experience of both European and Arab scholars! avoiding eclecticism and 'simplistic and over-generalized conclusions' (p. 15)... Caiani's study is based on a close textual analysis of the novels that are indicative of the diversity of artistic searches in recent decades! and most of the works analysed by the author are known to a wide western audience through their translation. His monograph not only exposes the formal innovations of the novels by Barrada! al-Kharrat! Khuri and al-Takarli! but also reveals the mechanisms of their creativity. In the last analysis they are connected to problems that offer a perspective for further investigations in the fields of theory and history of Arabic literature." - Baian Rayhanova; Middle Eastern Literatures! 14:2! 213-215 (2011).
