Rather than a one-sided account of orientalism or counter-orientalism, Decadent Orientalisms provides a rich model of comparativism. The book will be an important contribution to ongoing debates about comparative and world literature as well as to nineteenth- and twentieth-century Arabic and French literary studies. -- Madeleine Dobie, Columbia University David Fieni's Decadent Orientalisms makes several important and timely contributions to the fields of postcolonial, French and Francophone studies, and Middle East studies. Thoroughly researched and written in a vivid, engaging, and accessible style, the book will be of interest to students and scholars working in a range of fields. -- Olivia C. Harrison, University of Southern California
