商品簡介
Yacoubi, (Near Eastern studies, Ohio State U.), a professor with a background in Arab-American studies, modern Arabic literature, and critical theory, argues that Salmon Rushdie's fiction operates both within and beyond Islamic literary and theologic tradition. Yacoubi's post-structuralist approach emphasizes what he calls "post-colonial flow," or movement between authoritarian structures. Yacoubi compares different critical readings of Rushdie's work, readings of traditional texts such as the Qur'an, and Rushdie's writing, especially The Satanic Verses.
