Tablet & Pen: Literary Landscapes from the Modern Middle East Hardcover - 2010
by Reza Aslan (Editor)
This volume celebrates the magnificent achievement of 20th-century Middle Eastern literature that has been neglected in the English-speaking world.
From the rear cover
Featuring marvelous translations of works from countries as diverse as Morocco and Iran, Turkey and Pakistan, Tablet and Pen finally endows twentieth-century Middle Eastern literature with a primacy in the English language that it much deserves. Edited by Reza Aslan, this groundbreaking volume features new translations of stories and poems, essays and memoirs from Arabic, Persian, Turkish, and Urdu.
"This landmark collection of writings from the modern Middle East reminds us of the region's magnificent and proud literary tradition. That would be gift enough. But the powerful voices within these pages also guide us past clich�d perceptions of the region as a hotbed for militants and extremists and bring to life the hopes, aspirations, and struggles--indeed the common humanity--of one of the world's most diverse and fascinating regions." --Khaled Hosseini, author of The Kite Runner
