The Novel Copertina flessibile – 1 novembre 2008
Opzioni di acquisto e componenti aggiuntivi
So begins Nawal El Saadawi's tenth novel. And indeed, when the famous Egyptian psychiatrist and writer released The Novel in 2005, it was banned all over the Arab world. But the novel inside The Novel is by a young woman - a woman who is only 23 years old, who has "no family, no university degree, no national identity card," whose name does not appear on this "lists of prominent women writers." A woman, that is, whose biography is as unlike Saadawi's own as possible, as if she has stripped herself of all the effects of her own worldly existence to explore something earlier, more elemental, than the political work for which she is so well known.
In following the life of this young, unnamed, woman writer as it intersects with those of a famous writer named Rostum, his wife Carmen, and a poet called Miriam, El Saadawi gives us a deeply felt exploration of the nature of identity, of fame, of writing, and of freedom.

Recensione
"[A] novel within a novel, which follows the life of a young female writer as her life intertwines with the lives of the famous writer Roustum, his wife Carmen, and poet called Miriam. In her tenth novel, El Saadawi gives the reader a deeply felt exploration of the nature of identity, fame, writing and freedom."
"With a unique approach, Nawal El Saadawi introduces us to the world of a budding young female writer 'In her search for words to put on paper, the "young woman' encounters many artistic people- writers, poets, freedom groups and more. Poverty, adulterous sex, forbidden love, scorn for religious strictures, dirt behind political maneuvering and mingling of the high and low social classes- all are covered here! Most of the people she encounters wish to influence her and impress upon her their own points of view of how to write and what it is to be a writer" Although profound is an often overused word, its use is completely appropriate to describe this book. The story covers many touchy subjects that are taboo in the Muslim world. Reading this book makes you think, makes you question the traditions and lets you see some of the turmoil of what it is like to be a writer under such oppressed conditions." - -- Rhonda Esakov
