AUTHOR
SUMMARY
The hero and guiding force of this epic fantasy is an insomniac young man who, unable to sleep, guides the reader through the narrow streets of Cairo-a mysterious city full of deceit and trickery. He narrates a complex tangle of dreams and imaginings that describe an atmosphere constantly shifting between sumptuously learned orientalism, erotic adventure, and dry humor. The result is a thought-provoking puzzle box of sex, philosophy, and theology. Reminiscent of Italo Calvino, and Umberto Eco, this cult classic is finally back in print! "The Arabian Nightmare is a conceit worthy of Borges." (The New York Times) "Deft and lovely . . . the smooth steely grip of Irwin's story-telling genius is a joy to read." (The Washington Post)Robert Irwin is the author of 'The Arabian Nightmare', published 2002 under ISBN 9781585672172 and ISBN 1585672173.
