The Structure of the Short Story in Yahya Al-Taher Abdullah: A Theoretical Approach

About this book

Amr Abdel Sabour examines the narrative architecture of Yahya Al-Taher Abdullah, tracing the transformation of folklore, myth, and the social life of Upper Egypt into modern short fiction. Through close attention to compressed language, stream of consciousness, temporal rhythm, and oral cadence, the study illuminates the craft of a major figure of the 1960s generation.
