Tawfiq Al-hakim: A Reader's Guide

Hutchins (Islamic studies, Appalachian State U.) has translated several works by Egyptian playwright, novelist, and essayist al-Hakim (1898-1987). Here he invites readers into a dialogue about his writings, rather than propounding a definitive analysis. In addition to essays about the various groups of works, he includes a chronology, an annotated primary biography, and a selected secondary bibliography. Annotation ©2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
