This book discusses works by F. Scott Fitzgerald and Saul Bellow in terms of the conflicts between rhetorical people (actors replete with ever-changing roles, situations, and strategies, and therefore devoid of single roles) and serious people (actors who possess master situations or a referent reality to which they believe everyone can refer), players and doers, artifices and realities, words and the world, and multivocal and univocal interpretations. This book claims that Fitzgerald's and Bellow's treatment of the concepts of actors and acting in their novels provides insights into the dynamic potential of the trope as presented by recent critics and reveals how some literary theories need refinement and modification.

Mohammad Ali Taha is a well-known Palestinian writer residing in Galilee as an Israeli citizen. Despite his fame in the Arab world, his works are still unfamiliar to Western audiences. In this volume, translator Jamal Assadi has collected a selection of Taha’s short stories, representing a variety of themes, styles, historical periods, contexts, settings, tones, languages, narrations, and characters, with the intent to help Taha enter what Edward Said calls «the large, many-windowed house of human culture as a whole». In his introduction, Assadi discusses the culture, traits, and manners of Taha’s world, which provides the reader with a greater appreciation and understanding of the short stories in this volume.

Mustafa Murrar’s stories span more than a ?fty-year period. Jamal Assadi has translated a selection of these stories to introduce this Palestinian writer to a wider public through the English language. This volume includes serious stories with light and humorous scenes, love stories intermingled with tales of the unusual, and political stories interwoven with love scenes. This book enables Murrar to tell his own stories and the stories of his people – stories of alienation and marginalization but also of hopes and dreams – in a new magnified voice. All readers will savor the aroma of a different culture, while scholars of Arabic literature will be given the chance to tread new fields for academic assessment and critique.

Narratives in Modern Arabic Literature: Explorations in Place, Gender, and ?ufi Motifs offers a significant contribution to modern Arabic literary studies. By analyzing the roles of place, gender, and ?ufi motifs, the book provides a nuanced examination of key thematic elements in the field. Through detailed exploration of works by Nagib Mahfouz, Ibrahim Al-Koni, and Nawal Al-Saadawi, it reveals the transformative power of place, challenges traditional gender norms, and unravels complex spiritual symbolism. The inclusion of experimental fiction enriches this interdisciplinary study, making it an essential resource for scholars and students of Arabic and comparative literature, cultural, and gender studies. "This book represents a comprehensive portrayal of human life - body, soul, time, and place - from a critical perspective of narrative literature. The author, Assadi, carefully selects and interacts with texts, demonstrating a thorough understanding of this art form, drawing from heritage while looking towards the future. It serves as a platform for self-expression, thought, and critique. I hope this inspiring and distinctive journey will open the door for further exploration." —Professor Dr. Ahmed Safaa Abdul Aziz Al-Ani, Professor of Language and Discourse Analysis, University of Anbar, Iraq - Baghdad March 5, 2024

The Immortal Voices of Arabic Poetry: Abū Tammām, al-Buḥturī, and al-Mutanabbī gathers three pillars of the classical canon in fresh, balanced translations. Abū Tammām appears as architect-anthologist whose argued couplets and Ḥamāsah reshape taste; al-Buḥturī as master of music and scene-spring odes, ekphrasis (the Īwān of Kisrā), praise as ethical scenography; al-Mutanabbī as voltage and aphorism, where battlefield and maxim share one cadence. An introduction orients readers to period, patronage, and form; concise headnotes anchor occasion and genre; transliteration accompanies idiomatic English so cadence, image-density, and rhetorical design survive without over-domestication. Built for classrooms and first encounters as well as specialists, the volume restores scale, pressure, and context-showing how Arabic verse could mourn and magnify, teach and dazzle, argue and endure in a single line.
