- Golden Chariot
(The Arab Women Writers Series)
This satirical
novel is set within the walls of a women's prison located outside Cairo during the
Nasser era. It focuses on a member of the Alexandrian aristocracy imprisoned for murder
and, according to Latifah al-Zayat, is written in a style "similar to the style of
folk-tales (al-haki al-sha'bi) which depends on digression, description, accumulation of
seemingly separate details, and turning dramatic events into narrative." It is a
novel of narrative sophistication which was widely praised in its original Arabic
publication and has since been translated into English and other European languages.
