Arabesques: A Novel
Employing two narrators, this semi-autobiographical "elaborate tapestry" by an Israeli Arab interweaves the 150-year history of the Shammas clan in Fassuta, a village in northern Israel, with contemporary scenes in Paris and at the University of Iowa. PW said, "The multilayered pyrotechnics are dazzling and sophisticated but may render this work impenetrable for many American readers."Copyright 1989 Reed Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
