May: the Nights of Isis Copia

AR2c-B1662

  • Language : Arabic
  • Subject : Novels
  • Author : Waciny Laredj
  • ISBN : 9789777730501
  • Year : 2018

This intriguing novel is based on the life of the well-known Lebanese writer, May Ziade, and highlights the important role played by women in a society gripped by stifling patriarchy.  May worked tirelessly for women's expression but was never accepted among the literary elite of her time.  Her nephew had her committed to a mental institution and this novel hones in on the moment of her "madness" and her attempt to prove her sanity.  Longlisted for the IPAF 2019.
