Ruse and Wit: The Humorous in Arabic, Persian, and Turkish Narrative: 08 (Ilex Series)

by Dominic Parviz Brookshaw (Author), Dominic Parviz Brookshaw (Author)

Synopsis

These essays examine a millennium of humorous and satirical writing in the Islamic world. Humor in Arabic, Persian, and Turkish narrative emerges here as a culturally modulated phenomenon that demands examination with reference to its historical framework and that, in turn, communicates as much about its producers as it does about its audience.
