I know for many people Al-Shaykh is all that but I find her stories really heavy handed and unsubtle. Similar themes as Women of Sand and Myrrh and a little more variety here but I wanted more. ( ) I loved this book, about woman in the Middles East in present day, trying to keep their traditions alive while entering into a new world. Loved the visuals and the writing, learning about their cultures and the way they interacted in their daily lives. The first three stories were my favorites, but really there was not one that I disliked. Glad that I read this book, not one I would have picked up had it not been a book group read. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Since the U.S. publication of Women of Sand and Myrrh--which has now sold more than 35,000 copies and was selected as one of the Fifty Best Books of 1992 by Publishers Weekly--Hanan al-Shaykh has attracted an ever larger following for her dazzling tales of contemporary Arab women. In these seventeen short stories--eleven of which are appearing in English for the first time--al-Shaykh expands her horizons beyond the boundaries of Lebanon, taking us throughout the Middle East, to Africa, and finally to London. Stylistically diverse, her stories are often about the shifting and ambiguous power relationships between different cultures--as well as between men and women. Often compared to both Margaret Atwood and Margaret Drabble, Hanan al-Shaykh is "a gifted and courageous writer" (Middle Eastern International). No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
