She did not go to university, speaks only Arabic, and has seldom travelled abroad. This virtual immunity from Western influence lends a special authenticity to her accounts of death, the lives of women in purdah, and the frustrations of everyday life. Badriyya's despairing anger at her deceitful husband, for example, or the haunting melancholy of At the Time of the Jasmine, are treated with a sensitivity to the discipline and the order of Islam that defies bland European prescription. This collection of Rifaat's best short stories admits the reader into a hidden private world, regulated by the call of the mosque, but often full of profound anguish and personal isolation. | | En ligne : | https://www.amazon.com/Distant-View-Minaret-Other-Stories/dp/1478611286 |
