MIDDLE EASTERN STUDIES I FICTION
LEILA ABOUZEID is a pioneer among Moroccan women writers.
She studied at Mohammed V University in Rabat and at the University
of Texas at Austin. She began her career as a radio and TV journalist
and also worked as a press assistant in government ministries and
in the prime minister s office. In
1992
she left journalism to dedicate
herself to writing. Abouzeid s fiction has been translated from
Arabic into English, German, Dutch, Italian, Spanish, Maltese, French,Turkish,
and Urdu.
BARBARA PARMENTER is a lecturer in the Urban and Environmental Policy
and Planning Department at Tufts University in
Medförd,
Massachusetts.
The novella and eight short stories that constitute Year of the
Bephant
—
an allusion to a battle described in the Qur an
—
serve
as an eloquent representation of life in the wake of Moroccos
successful struggle for independence from French occupation.
In the titular novella the protagonist, Zahra, has just returned
to her hometown after being divorced by her husband for
being too traditional and unable to keep up with his modern
way of life. Having devoted herself, alongside her husband, to
the creation of an independent Morocco, she had expected
to share the fruits of independence with him, but instead she
finds herself cast out into a strange world. As Zahra struggles
to find a place for herself in this new Morocco, her efforts
reflect Moroccan society s attempt as a whole to chart a path
in the conflict between tradition and modernism.
When published in English in 1
989,
Year of the Bephant was
die first novel by a Moroccan woman to be translated from
Arabic into English. In the years since, it has become popular
with readers for the unique picture it provides of Moroccan life
and North African Islamic culture. This revised edition includes
a new introduction that looks at die impact of die English
translation since its original publication and a study guide.
