Book Synopsis

Global Arab Fiction explores twenty-first-century fiction set in north and east Africa, the Gulf, the Arab east, and diaspora, showing diversity and connections across Arab world contexts. Nadia Atia and Lindsey Moore draw on a substantial literary corpus, highlighting contemporary trends in what is available to Anglophone audiences and considering how Arab fiction circulates as a global commodity.

Global Arab Fiction begins by positioning the Arab novel as a global phenomenon. It also explores the influence of literary prizes, notably the International Prize for Arabic Fiction, on the enhanced international visibility of Arab fiction this century. The authors tackle the thorny issue of violence, in representing Arab world contexts, and spotlight queer Arab desire, identity, and community. They address the rise of speculative Arab literary modes and show how both mobility and immobility challenge a global paradigm.
