Emerging perspectives on Nuruddin Farah
by Derek Wright
"This is the first critical anthology on the Somali novelist Nuruddin Farah, winner of the 1998 Neustadt International Prize for Literature. Farah is one of Africa's most multilingual and multiliterate writers. In exile from his country since 1974, he has wandered through the world's cultures, literatures, and ideas." "This anthology features the works of scholars from Africa, Australia, Europe, and North America, bringing together some of the many readings that Farah's voices have evoked. In its variety and complexity of responses, the volume pays tribute to Farah's versatility as a writer and to the multidimensionality of his work. Its subjects are diverse, ranging from the author's feminist and sociopolitical ideas, his vision of family and state, and concepts of time and history to his use of allegory and symbolism, his literary influences, and his relation to the oral tradition and postmodernism."--BOOK JACKET.
