Book Synopsis
Sets the Genesis tale to the different version told in the Qur'an and the depictions of it by Rembrandt, and explores how Thomas Mann's retelling in Joseph and His Brothers reworks these versions.

Trade Review
"By juxtaposing Qur'anic and biblical versions of the same story, Bal asks us to consider more than one way of looking at gender, literature, art, culture, and religious imagination. Her compendious erudition and the ease with which she traverses historical periods, cultural frames, and intellectual and academic discourses are breathtaking." - Esther Fuchs, University of Arizona"
