Ziad Elmarsafy presents close readings of the work of writers like Naguib Mahfouz, Gamal Al-Ghitany, Taher Ouettar, Ibrahim Al-Koni and Tayeb Salih, all of whom have turned to Sufism as a literary strategy to interrogate the limits of the creative self, individuality, rationality and the many possibilities offered by literature.
