Description
Muhammad 'Afifi Matar (Translated and Introduced by Ferial J. Ghazoul) This translation renders into English the first twelve sections of the renowned Egyptian poet Muhammad 'Afifi Matar's memoir--written in the late 1990s--revolving around his childhood and earliest recollections of life in his Delta village. His mother dominates the unfolding of his narrative, with her tenderness and courage in coping with a difficult existence. He depicts his fascination with his mother's Qur'anic intoning, with a poet's visit and recital in his village, and with the illustrated books he had access to as a pupil. His attachment to his art teacher, and his fear of jinn and animals, is beautifully rendered from a child's point of view.
