Thou Shalt not Speak My Language - Middle East Literature in Translation
Abdelfattah Kilito
It has been said that the difference between a language and a dialect is that a language is a dialect with an army. This title explores the tension between dynamics of literary influence and canon formation within the Arabic literary tradition. It challenges the reader to re-examine notions of translation, bilingualism, and postcoloniality.
