Though written decades apart and in two different languages (Arabic and Hebrew), Emile Habiby’s The Pessoptimist, Anton Shammas’s Arabesques, and Elias Khoury’s Gate of the Sun are interrelated novels in a broader literary dialogue about 1948 and its aftermath for Palestinians. The novels’ respective narratives map the Palestinian experience onto spaces both larger and smaller than that of the nation, crossing borders between Lebanon, the Galilee…
Reorienting Hebrew Literary History
Although Hebrew literary criticism has begun redressing the exclusion of women and minority writers from the Hebrew canon, the literary geography of modern Hebrew remains largely unquestioned. Modern Hebrew literature is still viewed as the progeny of European maskilim, while the concurrent production of belles lettres in Hebrew and other languages by non-Ashkenazi Jewries has been overlooked. What are the ramifications of this Eurocentric viewpo…
