Hello Lynx,
I just discovered your blog. Good job!
I thought I’d introduce myself: RAYA agency for Arabic literature. Would’ve liked to discuss some more. Is there an e-mail address for you that I can use?
January 20, 2012 @ 11:05 am
Dear Arablit,
some time ago you posted about the Arab Israeli Book Club. I’m delighted to say that we have 40-50 members at the bi monthly meeting, and that we have now launched an online literary journal, featuring specially commissioned translations from across the Middle East. I hope this is something you and your readers will enjoy.See: http://arabisraelibookreview.com/about/
Very best

Hi Lynx,

Thanks!

Hi Marcia (if I may be so familiar)
I have just discovered your site and am really taken with it. I don’t know that I have anything particular to contribute, but I wanted to let you know as the translator of Elias Khoury’s al-Woujouh al-Baydaa’, White Masks in English, that the book has just come out (published by Archipelago). I would love to see you review it. I have also recently translated some Iraqi texts for Banipal’s forthcoming issue and would be interested in your candid opinion of/feedback on those, if you were inclined to provide such. I look forward to making your virtual acquaintance!
March 31, 2020 @ 4:45 pm
Hi Maia, I see that you worked on one of Elias Khoury’s books. I am doing a research on Elias Khoury, and it would be helpful if I can ask you some questions about your work on the novel White Masks.
Looking forward to hearing from you!

Hi M. Lynx,
I was looking for material for my PhD proposal on Egyptian fiction in translation when I stumbled across your blog, which pointed me to countless invaluable links. Love reading your opinions too (also following you on Twitter since yesterday).
Keep up the great work!

Al Salam Alaykom,
I stumbled upon your blog while Googling for literary agents in Egypt, and I’m glad I did! Otherwise, I wouldn’t have found out about this great website. 🙂
Let me introduce myself, I’m an Egyptian YA author, but unlike all the great names you have on your recommendations list (that I’ll never dare compare myself to), I write in English.
You don’t know how much finding this blog made my day 🙂 🙂 Added to the subscription list.

September 15, 2010 @ 12:55 pm
That’s perfect, thanks! If you want to put in the RSS feed, there is a widget for it in the appearance tab on your dashboard.
September 15, 2010 @ 1:09 pm
I think i did it correctly, although it doesn’t look very…convincing. Sorry, you’d never know me for an “Internet pioneer” after being out of the business for near on a decade.

Dear Ms. Lynx,
Since the day I discovered your blog I look forward to your daily posts and read them with great pleasure. I truly appreciate the broad scope encompassed by your “coverage” (for your blog comprises the contemporary Arabic literary world from Mashriq to Maghreb and from the ocean to the Gulf), the depth with which you analyze the literary as well as the cultural, and, most importantly, your wonderful sense of humor! Your critique, reflecting a bright mind, is truly penetrating; it is much needed and welcomed by any reader interested in Arabic literature (whether in English or not).
My sincerest gratitude and very best wishes.

Hello,
Congratulations for the blog…it’s great! keep it like this!
Can anyone tell me where on the internet can I get the novel of Taha Hussein – Adib (A man of letters) in english? I tried the amazon.com, but it takes too much time and ….It’s realy urgent, i need it for a paper at school. I already found the novel in arabic on 4shared.com, but i would appreciate from the bottom of my heart if someone told me where can i download the english version, translated by mona el zayyat.
thank you ,
all the best
November 24, 2010 @ 7:45 am
Oh boy, a download, I don’t know. I’ll send it out…but have you tried your local libraries? Esp. university libraries? I don’t think me sending it to you from Cairo (in the mail) would be a particularly quick solution…
November 24, 2010 @ 7:56 am
Hello,
yes, i asked for it in our local libraries but no luck.
I don’t know if my email box on yahoo can “handle” such a big attachment, but if you have it scanned and you could send it , it would be wonderfull. We can at least try this option.
Another option would be if you could share it somewhere…i don t have information on this, i ll have to find out, ask around.

November 24, 2010 @ 7:57 am
Oh, gosh, I don’t have it scanned…just as a paper relic. Hmm…not at the local libraries, and they couldn’t do interlibrary loan doublequick? If I were you, I might dump it on the library as their fault for not having such a classic work. I’d sound indignant.
November 24, 2010 @ 8:14 am
Oh, that’s alright. I really hoped i would get lucky this time.
I ‘ll give it another try on the internet, maybe someone put it there and maybe I will get so lucky and find it.
I am from Romania and our local libraries are not loaded with arabic literature, though we have arabists and many pieces of the arabic lit have been translated into romanian. But not this one, unfortunately.
So, it seems there is no chance to get it scanned, would it be too complicated for you to do that? Anyway, i was surprised to get the arabic version from 4shared.com , but not the english version.
Thank you for your replies.
All the best!
November 24, 2010 @ 8:27 am

Hello!
Do you recommend some bookstore in Cairo to buy these books or is it possible to get them in just any bookshop?
Thanks,
Marko
December 23, 2010 @ 9:04 pm
Marko,
I have a very strict rundown of suggestions for children’s books, but I suppose I’ve never really done a good compare-contrast on the offerings of grown-up books. But certainly most should be available at Kotob Khan, the Shorouks, the Diwans, the Alefs, and the AUC bookstore in Tahrir.

I am adding an excerpt:
Then, it is that Yafi was born out of a man and woman of Jews in Jerusalem, his family was of Pagans worshiped Goddess statue of trampled called Krishan to whom, massacred animal shall be sacrificed, father was called “Ladi” and the mother called ” Madina”. Ladi was a one known as bandits and as it is known that over time there were murderers and criminals, but then was a killer with no qualms and out of scruples, deadly to any man stands in the way.
Passing through the roads was dangerous because of killers like Ladi and the bastards’ team of “Alwaarin” that he composed. Alwaarin included five villains, Andy, Hero, Adré and Arif and all were admitting to Ladi. They Left Jerusalem and turned South to seek a precious treasure to hunt.
Madina was as close to the devel as a woman could be, in spite of the striking beauty that she was destined with, beauty of supernatural and akin to the coerced empower, she was living life of “Pagans”, lustful and footloose.
Madina get in acquaintance with the Ladi in one of his trips where he was cruising in the country to find distinctive theft that he was known now in Jerusalem and environs. From the rough jagged road, he was resting under a bush, while his companions wandering in search of food. He walked to the bringing of water from the well in the central dimension in place of wilderness and distance … His life was and now of the harsh lives of butchers, that was intolerable to surprises. As he sleep to wake and wake to sleep. A moment of fright and horror of a voice rising from the well, provide the voice of a woman, by the famous voice of ponds, or farms in himself said “maybe one woman fell into the well” despite the fact that it is an abandoned province. Propinquity look of orifice and a voice calling “Hark ye”.
Ladi nailed in place, while he had to escape from this dismay instant. Then it was that the woman is not as any other women, he lowered down a strand for her to be saved, but did not need this cord and stepped up to the top in relief.
When she came up to him, he felt a chilling touch of an apparition not human though nearby in a sense, but in effect is more exciting and more captivating. And as he was talking to himself “dearest Goddess, why it is that I see the sky, the Earth, the trees like I never did before not even as Heaven or the pretty terrain”
He asked her with astonish “who are you?”
She said “hear from me, will you?”
He answered without delay, as he looked captured: “say as you wish”
She questioned his gesture “so, it is that, you do what I say”
He replied without thinking “Oh, the miraculous, command, tip with thee hands, I follow”,
In the midst of these moments, Aref was owing a stolen goat, and as approached, he was startled from the scene described and was mesmerized into place. He gave to his struggle as he said, “we seek refuge with the chasm 6 and the most cherished, and with the great of this Valley, the master of all, spare me”, and crooked down with shaken eyes.
Looked Madina to Arif and gushed with a smile “ease ye, what is it with you?” fluttered Aref “Compassion … Mercy … Forgiveness”
Wondered Madina with ingenuity “What did you commit that you repent?”
Admitted Aref “pardon me, I am a sinner”
Ladi looked to Arif and shouted: “do make confess, that will bring the death”
He continued “and forgiveness is not fulfilled from the appealing”
Smiled Madina, persistence he was “They are created for praise”
Shouted Arif: “but the devel she is …”
Angry Madina “Seth! I am not a devel”
Arif: “then how are you walking above water”
Ladi’s eyes went to her feet and really found her floating above the water and his face turned to the yellowness of death “then how, Shitanh ?”
Answered, the deeply amused Madina “though, now you will abandon me?
Ladi answered with sincere “My no no … Do not speak, this spiritual soul belongs to you”
Risen Aref astonished “You sell your soul to the devel but the pain”
Then ran Aref fugitive, looking for the rest of Alwaarin, and vanished from sight.
Ladi turned his face to Madina and asked in a serious voice “and now a word from you, if you to be a devel, then let it be, but if you are not a sprite, you must veil”
Considered the question “what do you mean?”
Replied with keen “gone in his prayers and will come with Arif, villains who will kill you if you are a daughter of man otherwise they will set you to blaze if you are a witch, your only salvation if you only to be a sprite”
Troubled Madina “and what you are doing with me?”
“I belong to you Fatenti3”
“Not afraid of me, I might be the devel?”
“Not afraid but of your eyes my capture”
Replied Madina in surrender “then we should find a place to hide”
Breathe a sigh of relief as he snatched from her a discretionary recognition as human, grapping her from her hands, sturdily towards the cart. Taking flogs to the horses that rendered the cart flying and Madina was to hold the shrubs of the car looking as is the most handsome.
Ladi started the talk “So you a Jinn ?”
Madina spoke “but sure you want me a medial”
“And what will be the grounds, my beloved soul”
“Oh so be in no doubt, I fall in thine entice”
Ladi cleared out “Oh My, sprites shall respond to entice to occur in reference to human just like human beings worship one another” Ladi continued after a deep sigh “don’t worry I’ll enchant you at all times, But if there not be a Jinn, you have many things that require comprehension”
Asked Madina “like what?”
Smiled “walking on water inevitable, for a case,”
“Oh, I must be the fairy, even walking the water! My”
Augmented “I think this and also needs to explain you prettiness”
Disrupt the context a loud scary say, disturbed Madina “what’s this?”
“Don’t worry, this beautiful head of you, it must be Arif returned with the remaining, and found not the cart”

Hello
As Director of Jiwar Creation and Society (www.jiwarbarcelona.com), an International Artists and Writers and Researchers residence in the heart of Barcelona, I’m very interested in the your blog and the field you are working on.
Our project started in October 2011 with a good reception with artists and writers from around the world. The project’s concept is inspired by the Jiwar tradition, which translates as “neighbourhood”. All disciplines are welcome here. Jiwar is very interested in artists and researchers and writers who place their work and their methods on the frontiers between cultures and disciplines.
We are very interested to know how our project could partner with yours, we are now enlarging our contacts and trying to become more and more visible in the artist community and various networks. We are open to all kinds of collaboration: writers exchange (how can we host your members?), new collaborative projects, partnership, etc.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
We would be happy to continue our conversation by e-mail or skype.
We look forward to hearing from you soon.
All the best,

Hi Lynx, I stumbled upon your site while researching libraries across the world for my blog. I have recommended this beautiful site to my daughter who studies Arabic. I would also like to invite you to check out the blog – librraiesofourlives.wordpress.com. My goal is to capture memories of libraries all over the world in the words of users who loved them, before they all get digitized and online , and are lost to posterity. I would be honored if you share one story about libraries in Egypt. We know so little about the system there.

Could you please make the paperback magazine available in India? Currently, they are not showing on Amazon India.

I am not sure at present how to do this without incurring a large expense, but I will look into it; access for our India readership is of course very important!

Hey Lynx, my name is Amanee and I am a Palestinian woman of the diaspora. My grandparents got kicked out, my parents were raised in Jordan, and me and my sisters were born in the US. I have poems written for my country but I can’t write in Arabic. I’m saddened that I can’t submit here because of that. Why is it that you don’t accept pieces written in English?

Amanee,
There are many hundreds — or probably thousands — of excellent publications that publish English-language poetry. There are a much smaller group of publications that focus on poetries in translation, fewer still that focus on Arabic literature in translation, and those conversations. Those are the conversations we try to know something about.
Our sister publication Rusted Radishes publishes in both English and Arabic, http://www.rustedradishes.com, and we encourage you to submit there.

Hello,
Just discovered you. Wondering if you would consider Arab-American authors with work written in English?
Thank you,

Cecile, we accept nonfiction written in English for the magazine, although generally *about* literature in Arabic and other languages, or to the theme of the issue. (You can check out the issues at arablit.gumroad.com or clicking on QUARTERLY up above.) As for the website, our niche is Arab/Arabic literatures in translation, although if you do a search on our “Submissions” feature we often recommend magazines looking for fiction & poetry originally in English. Best!
