Subject:New Short Story Compilation/Translation

A new compilation of modern Arabic short stories came out these days in
Serbian under the title of  "12 nemogucih" [= The Impossible Twelve]
and a
subtitle "price buntovnih arapskih pisaca" [=stories of rebellious Arab
writers]. The publisher is "Alpha-Narodna knjiga", Belgrade (ISBN
86-331-1997-8; no. of pages 181). The book comprises 12 translated
stories
by 9 authors from 7 Arab countries, the thirteenth story being my Post
Scriptum. In addition to that, each story is followed by an extensive
"story
on the story", for each of the chosen stories has been condemned by the
censorship and consequently brought about significant trubles to both
it's
author and to the periodical or gazette in which it has been
published. Some
of the editors were fired, and one of the authors had even been put
to jail
(Abdel Settar Nassir, who spent 10 months in solitary prison in 1975,
after
publishing of his story named Our Master the Khalif).

The authors: Salwa Bakr (Egypt), Abdallah Hakam Bakhishwin (Saudia),
Zakaria
Tamer (Syria), Abdel Settar Nassir (Iraq), Adil Kamil (Iraq), Hadiya
Husayn
(Iraq), Fakhri Qaawar (Jordan), Mahmud al-Ajami (Kuwait), Idris al-
Saghir
(Morocco).
