Another Shore: Articles on Arab Short Stories
This book is not a critical study, but rather an attempt by the author, Dr. Lina Abdul Rahman, to form a literary reading of the textual material that comprises the book. She affirms, “I do not hide the fact that I have drawn upon many critical insights that help me crystallize and complete my vision in capturing the aesthetic values and artistic peculiarities in analyzing the short stories and narratives discussed.”
The author continues, “Creativity and excellence in short stories and narratives have always fascinated me, and it is not hidden from the discerning reader the significant place that the art of the short story holds, in general, as an Arab and global literary form worthy of study. An overview of the status of short stories in Arab history, religious and cultural heritage, blending history with preaching and biographies with wisdom that captures the listener’s attention and engages them in reading, is sufficient to demonstrate its power of intrigue and charm.”
