In 1960s Egypt a group of writers exploded onto the literary scene, transforming the aesthetic landscape. This book explores how this literary generation presents a marked shift in the representation of rural, urban and exilic space, reflecting a disappointment with the project of the postcolonial nation-state in Egypt.
