Found in translation
Jan. 15th, 2010 10:25 pmFollowing the interest generated by Opening the Gates: A Century of Arab Feminist Writing, I thought I would point out this article from the New Yorker, Found in Translation. It provides an overview of some recently translated Arabic literature, and some thoughts on how we, as Westerners, interact with them (or, conversely, choose not to interact with them). Some interesting reading suggestions here - even if female authors are woefully thin on the ground.
