The Callaloo website is a wee bit behind; good that Laila Lalami put out the alert about the current edition featuring Middle Eastern/North African authors.
The magazine’s table of contents is online through Project MUSE. It has an excerpt from Basrayatha, one of my favorite “is this a novel?” novels, as well as from the classic The Secret Life of Saeed the Pessoptimist, Ibrahim al-Koni’s strange but fascinating The Animists, and other excellent books.
If you want a lovely flyover of Arabic literature (not necessarily what’s hot off the presses, but good stuff), I suggest picking this up.
