This is our fourth weekly edition of Jadaliyya`s Culture. Previous weeks can be found here, here and here.
This week, with Hamdy El-Gazzar`s قالت الجدة ("Quoth the Grandmother," trans. by Alex Ortiz), we initiate Hakadha narwi al-thawra, a new series of fiction from the revolutionary Arab world. In future weeks, we will be bringing more Arabic fiction (and translation) in this vein.
Also this week:
Excerpts from “Mirrors of Absence," by dissident Syrian poet Faraj Ahmad Bayraqdar, trans. by Sinan Antoon.
"The Language of Almonds" a short film tribute to Palestinian poet Hussein Al-Barghouti by Salim Abu Jabal.
"The Bawwab`s Daughter," new fiction by Elliott Colla.
All culture posts can be found in the culture section here. We look forward to your comments and contributions. Please read and forward our Call for Posts, or contact us at culture@jadaliyya.com
