Reviews
"Has the dawning of self-consciousness ever been so delicately conveyed?" --Ratik Asokan, The Yale Review "Intricately conceived and beautifully written. . . . A crisp, luminous, and nervy mixture of fantasy and autobiography. . . [and] an elegant example of postmodern baroque." --John Updike, The New Yorker "This book is a history of its author's youth and the memoir of a family and a fabled region--Galilee. . . A beautifully impressive piece of prose." --William H. Gass, New York Times Book Review "Arabesques is a classic of the exploration of identity. . . A Palestinian master of Hebrew, living at the seam between the ancient and the modern, between loyalties and appetites, Shammas has written beautifully about his search for design. He transforms fact into fantasy without changing a thing." --Leon Wieseltier "Arabesques really brings, as novels were once supposed to bring, 'news' from elsewhere. . . This book has already added something notable to Israeli literature." --Irving Howe, The New York Review of Books "If Hebrew literature is at all destined to have its Conrads, Nabokovs, Becketts and Ionescos, it could not have hoped for a more auspicious beginning." --Muhammad Siddiq, Los Angeles Times Book Review, "Intricately conceived and beautifully written. . . . A crisp, luminous, and nervy mixture of fantasy and autobiography. . . [and] an elegant example of postmodern baroque." --John Updike, The New Yorker "This book is a history of its author's youth and the memoir of a family and a fabled region--Galilee. . .

Synopsis
A luminous, inventive, and deeply personal exploration of living in the liminal space between Jewish and Arab, ancient and modern, by a gifted Palestinian writer., A luminous, inventive, and deeply personal exploration of living in the liminal space between Jewish and Arab, ancient and modern, by a gifted Palestinian writer. Chosen by The New York Times as one of the best books of 1988, Arabesques is a luminous novel that engages with history and politics not as propaganda but as literature. That engagement begins with the language in which the book is written- Anton Shammas, from a Palestinian Christian family and raised in Israel, wrote in Hebrew, as no Arab novelist had before. The choice was provocative to both Arab and Jewish readers. Arabesques is divided into two sections- "The Tale" and "The Teller." "The Tale" tells of several generations of family life in a rural village, of the interplay of past and present, of how memory intersects with history in a part of the world where different people have both lived together and struggled against each other for centuries. "The Teller" is about the writer's voyage out of that world to Paris and the United States, as he comes into his vocation as a writer, and raises questions about the authority of the storyteller and the nature of the self. Shammas's tour de force is both a personal and a political narrative-a reinvention of the novel as a way of envisioning and responding to historical and cultural legacies and conflicts., A luminous, inventive, and deeply personal exploration of living in the liminal space between Jewish and Arab, ancient and modern, by a gifted Palestinian writer.
