Abstract:

I Die Every Day features ten short stories written by Ali Al-Ja'aki (The
Button. The Departure. The Martyr. Nostalgia for the Fire. The Flood. The King
of the Wind. The Phoenix. The Bubble. The Mirage. The Second Flood). Born in
Libya in 1952, Al-Ja'aki worked as a journalist from 1980 to 1984 and has had
his work published in local newspapers. Inspired and influenced by the
well-known Libyan novelist, Ibrahim Al-Koni, Al-Ja'aki writes using a compact
style of short carefully worked sentences.

"This bilingual reader is ideal for those who would like to read some
contemporary Arabic literature albeit in translation, intermediate to advanced
students of Arabic who are looking to improve their reading skills and widen
their literary vocabulary and native Arabic readers who are keen to improve
their English. The collection features stories in both English and Arabic,
prefaced by a brief author biography. It is the hope that the suggested
translations will be of interest both for native Arabic speakers wishing to
improve their reading and translation skills as well as for native English
speakers looking to develop their familiarity with literary Arabic".
