Congratulations to International Studies Academic Advisory Board member and Director of Arabic Studies Yasmine Ramadan, whose book Space in Modern Egyptian Fiction was reviewed in the independent pan-Arab newspaper al-Quds al-Arabi. The book, published in 2019, explores the spatial representations in the fiction of the sixties generation in Egypt, tracing the disappearance of an idealized nation in the Egyptian novel. It examines 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. The review can be read here.
