Review # 1 was written on 2015-06-30 00:00:00 Miguel A. Medrano A collection I read in less depth than the Abbasid volume in this series. Essays often list short synopses of novels breaking up passages of extensive and developed analysis. Like the other volume, it attempts to cover a wide, geographic range of literary production rather than discussing only the most celebrated literary works. This avoids the coverage involving an excessively evaluative aspect and equally accords with the series' purpose of being a 'history' but does make passages fairly tedious and unenlightening. I liked the article on the modern Egyptian novel but I generally think that I would have been better off reading Sabry Hafez or Roger Allen's monographs on modern Arabic literature.
