Cities of Salt
Munif Abdelrahman
Set in an unnamed
Persian Gulf kingdom in the 1930s, this remarkable novel tells the story
of the disruption and diaspora of a poor oasis community following the
discovery of oil there. The meeting of the Arabs and the Americans who,
in essence, colonize the remote region is a cultural confrontation in
which religion, history, superstition, and mutual incomprehension all
play a part.
Powerful political fiction that it is, CITIES OF SALT
has been banned in several Arab countries, including Saudi Arabia. This
novel, the first volume in a trilogy, has been translated from the
Arabic to the English by Peter Theroux.
