Abdelfattah Kilito is an acclaimed Moroccan
novelist, essayist, and critic. He has written several important
works on classical Arabic literature, both in French and Arabic,
many of which have been translated into numerous languages,
including French, German, Spanish, Italian, and English. He is the
recipient of many awards, including the French Academy Award in
1996.
Mbarek Sryfi is a lecturer at the University of
Pennsylvania and an adjunct assistant professor at Mercer County
Community College in New Jersey. His translations have appeared in
CELAAN, Metamorphoses, and World Literature Today.
Eric Sellin is professor emeritus at Tulane
University. He is the author of two books on Antonin Artaud and on
early twentieth-century avant-garde movements.
Arabs and the Art of Storytelling showcases Kilito's signature creativity and boldness as a critic. Sryfi and Sellin, with their thoughtful translation, have done a service to readers of Arabic and to anyone interested in literary culture. The field of Arabic studies is that much richer for their efforts.--Samuel England "University of Wisconsin"
