Reviews

The sheer variety of Jabra Ibrahim Jabra's interests and talents means that this memoir provides a wealth of information and insight on the confrontation and blending of political, social, and cultural principles and ideals that were so much a part of the inter- and post-war period that are the primary focus of this work. There is much to enjoy and much to ponder." —Roger Allen, professor of Arabic and comparative literature, University of Pennsylvania, translator of many books by Jabra Ibrahim Jabra and Naguib Mahfouz
