| Editorial Review | DiMeo not only delivers useful stand-alone analyses of both major and less-studied works by Mahfouz, Idris, and Ibrahim, but also offers a persuasive framework for the history of committed literature in Egypt, exploring how artists have grappled with the realization that political art is often powerless to bring about political change. As this book's heartbreaking conclusion points out, the same question has reverberated through the literature produced amid the Arab Uprisings and the waves of euphoria and disillusion that have followed.--Margaret Litvin, author of Hamlet's Arab Journey: Shakespeare's Prince and Nasser's Ghost"Dimeo is a masterful literary critic "--The Jordan Times |
