El Ghourabaa

More about the book

Seeking uncanny, fun, experimental, creepy, sarcastic, playful, vulgar, inventive, sexual, weird, sweet, and evocative works, editors Samia Marshy and Eli Tareq El Bechelany-Lynch set out to collect Arab and Arabophone queer writing. The result is an anthology brimming with gems by emerging and established writers and an homage to the lineages and complexities of queer Arab life. Multi-genre, multi-generational, and global, El Ghourabaa is an enigma, a delight, and a contribution to an ongoing conversation and creative outpouring. In addition to Marshy and El Bechelany-Lynch, contributors include: Leila Marshy, Trish Salah, Olivia Tapiero, Symon Henry, Yehia Sabaa, Nofel Sheleeg, Hoda Adra, Ralph Haddad, Naja Kassir, Seif Siddiqui, Karim Kattan, Andrea Abi-Karam, Mariam Bazeed,Rasha Abdulhadi, George Abraham, Sarah O'Neal, Micaela Kaibni Raen, Nour Kamel Ibrahim, Barrak Alzaid, and Rabih Alameddine.
