Description

The novel, the literary adage has it, reflects a world abandoned by God. Yet the possibilities of novelistic form and literary exegesis exceed the secularizing tendencies of contemporary criticism. Showing how the Qurʾan invites critical reading, this account of Arabophone and Francophone Maghrebi literature develops a Qurʾanic model of narratology. Blending literary and theological methodologies, conceptual vocabularies, and reading practices, it brings together scholarship across literary theory, Islamic and Qurʾanic studies, Philosophy, Anthropology, and History.
