The Edinburgh Companion to the Arab Novel in English charts the development of the Anglophone Arab novel at the turn of the twentieth century, continues throughout the anti-colonial and nationalist periods, the ensuing successive waves of Arab immigration to Europe and the United States, and ends with the current period...Covering the full spectrum of Anglophone Arab fiction is an ambitious project, especially when one bears in mind the abundant output of Anglophone Arab authors since 1911; nevertheless, this edited collection successfully manages to illustrate the richness and uniqueness of Anglophone Arab fiction. -- The Journal of Arabic Literature

'The Edinburgh Companion to the Arab Novel in English, carefully edited by Nouri Gana, brings together the work of some of the very best comparative literature scholars. The essays are all marked by both their theoretical rigor and the clearly expounded close readings of the texts and authors upon which they focus. The Companion is a valuable addition to the relatively small but growing library of critical works devoted to this particular subfield of comparative literature studies.' - Roger Allen, Professor of Arabic & Comparative Literature Emeritus, University of Pennsylvania 'A much needed and welcome anthology. Gana has collected an excellent range of essays of various critical approaches, all of them readable and insightful, as are his contextual contributions. Highly recommended for classroom use.' - Steven Salaita, Associate Professor of English, Virginia Tech
