The novel unfolds at his bedside through Dr. Khalil's intimate and haunting flights of memory. Khoury humanizes the complex Palestinian/Israeli struggle for us, shedding light on the turbulent history with love and empathy. Khoury opens up a whole new territory, envisioning a place where confronting pain and humiliation might lead, if not to reconciliation, then at least to finding an element of the other in one's self. "Us" and "Them" become inextricably entwined through this realigned 1001 Nights . Originally published in Beirut in 1998, the novel has been a sensation throughout the Arab world, in Israel, and throughout Europe.

With nods to Diderot and Sterne, this shaggy-dog story deals less with contraband salt smugglers than with the subversive power of fiction to transgress legal and aesthetic boundaries. By writing what he claimed was a purely documentary account of his picaresque adventures in search of an elusive book recording the true history of a certain seventeenth-century swashbuckler, Nerval sought to deride the press censors of the day who forbade the serial publication of novels in newspapers - and in the process he provocatively deconstructed existing distinctions between fact and fiction. Never before translated into English and still unavailable as a separately published volume in French, The Salt Smugglers is a pre-postmodern gem of experimental prose. Richard Sieburth's vibrant translation and illuminating afterword remind us why Gérard de Nerval's blend of sly irony and acerbic social criticism proved so inspiring to authors as various as Baudelaire, Proust, and Leiris.' ***'Poet, storyteller, autobiographer, translator, and visionary, Gérard de Nerval (1808-55) explored the blurry boundaries between dream and reality, fact and fiction, imagination and madness in his groundbreaking writings. Nerval was a pioneering modernist, a precursor of the French Symbolists, and a vital influence on writers such as Marcel Proust, Andre Breton, and Antonin Artaud.'

Book Condition: About fine, with faint signs of handling, mild crease to front panel. As "ADVANCE READING COPY-NOT FOR SALE" (all caps theirs) this edition precedes first trade edition and is absolutely less common, issued in far smaller numbers. Front cover closely resembles that of first trade edition, though the dimensions are slightly smaller (19 cm vs. 20 cm height.), but the spine is completely devoid of lettering, as is the rear panel (except for the declaration referenced above), distinguishing it from the first softcover printing. A sharp copy of a scarce edition.
