From the Inside Flap:
"Arabesques is a classic of the exploration of identity. . . . A Palestinian master of Hebrew, living at the seam between Jews and Arabs, 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
About the Author:
Anton Shammas is Professor of Near Eastern Studies and Comparative Literature at the University of Michigan.
