| 520 | |a "Chosen by The New York Times as one of the best books of 1988, Arabesques is a luminous novel that engages with history and politics not as propaganda but as literature.That engagement begins with the language in which the book is written: Anton Shammas, from a Palestinian Christian family and raised in Israel, wrote in Hebrew, as no Arab novelist had before. The choice was provocative to both Arab and Jewish readers. Arabesques is divided into two sections: "The Tale" and "The Teller." "The Tale" tells of several generations of family life in a rural village, of the interplay of past and present, of how memory intersects with history in a part of the world where different people have both lived together and struggled against each other for centuries. "The Teller" is about the writer's voyage out of that world to Paris and the United States, as he comes into his vocation as a writer, and raises questions about the authority of the storyteller and the nature of the self. Shammas's tour de force is both a personal and a political narrative--a reinvention of the novel as a way of envisioning and responding to historical and cultural legacies and conflicts"-- |c Back cover. | ||
| 520 | |a "In 1986 Israeli writers and readers alike were startled by the appearance of a novel about an Arab village in the Galilee and the protean identity of its narrator. That this first novel was written in resourceful and often eloquent Hebrew and in a highly sophisticated narrative mode was remarkable enough. But even more provocative and significant was the identity of the author. For Anton Shammas was not another aspiring Jewish author haunted by the shadow world of the Palestinians--a familiar theme in Israeli literature--but an author who regarded himself as an Israeli Palestinian, an impossible combination in itself. Shammas wrote Arabesques, in part, to serve as his "real identity card," the first to be issued for a bi-national culture in that fiercely divided land"-- |c Provided by publisher. | ||
