Global Arab Fiction explores twenty-first century fiction set in north and east Africa, the Gulf, the Arab east, and diaspora, showing diversity and connections across Arab world contexts. Nadia Atia and Lindsey Moore draw on a substantial literary corpus, highlighting contemporary trends in what is available to Anglophone audiences and considering how Arab fiction circulates as a global commodity. The introduction to Global Arab Fiction positions the Arab novel as a global phenomenon. Chapter 1 explores the influence of literary prizes, notably the International Prize for Arabic Fiction, on the enhanced international visibility of Arab fiction this century. The authors tackle the thorny issue of violence, in representing Arab world contexts (Chapter 2), and spotlight queer Arab desire, identity, and community (Chapter 4). They address the rise of speculative Arab literary modes (Chapter 3) and show how both mobility and immobility challenge a global paradigm (Chapter 5). Global Arab Fiction illuminates a vibrant body of literature rooted in, but not circumscribed by, a region redefined by twenty-first century global geopolitics. This book offers new arguments about twenty-first century Arab literary tropes, modes, consecration routes, identities, and contexts. It is unmissable for readers interested in contemporary, postcolonial, Arab/Middle Eastern, and world literary studies.
